Import Data with Manual Imports

Manual imports let you add one category of data at a time using a sample spreadsheet. Use them when you want full control over the format, or as an alternative to the Smart Importer.

Before You Start

  • Division and team names in your file must match the names in TeamLinkt exactly, or the import won’t work. For example, a division named PeeWee will not match Pee Wee or PW.

  • Set up your divisions and teams before importing rosters or schedules.

  • When you import players or coaches, you’ll be asked to confirm you have parental consent for any children in your file.

Open Manual Imports

  1. Go to Smart Importer.

  2. Click the Manual Imports dropdown in the top right corner.
    ​

  3. Select the category you want to import: Teams, Rosters, Locations, or Schedules.

Import Your File

  1. Click Import File.

  2. Download the Sample Spreadsheet.

  3. Fill in your data using the sample’s columns and format.

  4. Copy your data from the spreadsheet and paste it into the importer.

  5. Fix any cells highlighted in red. Click the cell and select the correct value from the list.

  6. Click Submit Data

Tips

  • For schedules, set the Type field to game for any game. This turns on in-game features like live scoring and in-game updates.

  • Import in this order to avoid errors: divisions, then teams, then rosters, then schedules.

  • Importing several categories at once? The Smart Importer can sort everything from one upload.

  • The Smart Importer can sort everything from one upload. It also recognizes data that already exists in your account and skips it, so nothing gets added twice.
