How do I export or import variables as a CSV file?

A CSV file is the quickest way to review all your variables in a spreadsheet, or to add many at once. The file has one header row, name,type,initialValue, and one row per variable.

Export your variables

1. #

   Choose Course settings in the header, then Variables.

2. #

   Choose Export CSV. Xogogy saves variables.csv and also shows the rows in a box, ready to copy.

Import variables

1. #

   Prepare the rows. The first row is name,type,initialValue. The type is text, number or boolean. For example:

   • name,type,initialValue
   • LearnerRole,text,Manager
   • Attempts,number,0
   • TourDone,boolean,false
2. #

   In Course settings › Variables, choose Import CSV….

3. #

   Choose Choose CSV file (.csv) and pick your file, or paste the rows into CSV rows (name,type,initialValue).

4. #

   Choose Apply CSV import. A row whose name is new adds a variable; a row whose name already exists updates that variable's initial value.

If the import is refused

1. #

   Xogogy checks every row before it changes anything. If one row has a problem, such as a number that is not a number, nothing is imported and the message names the row.

2. #

   Fix that row and choose Apply CSV import again.

Quiz and system values are read-only, so an import cannot change them.
