SportsNow offers you the possibility to import your class schedule as a list. This is particularly useful if you need to add a large number of classes on a regular basis. You can import your class schedule data yourself using our template. The template is based on Google Spreadsheets, i.e. you can enter column by column (name, description, settings, etc.) of your classes. Note, that you must enter the data correctly into our template. In this tutorial, we will explain how to load our template, fill in the template with your data and upload the list to SportsNow.


Good to know

  • Important: Do not run the import with the same data more than once, as this may result in duplicates.


Step-by-step instructions

Load template

On the web

  • Click in the admin area on «Set up my studio».

  • After loading the file, click in the file on «File» and then on «Create a copy».
  • Enter a new name for the file.

Fill in template with data

Fill your template with data and note the order of the fields (columns). We have summarized the most important tips and tricks for you here:

  • Use Google spreadsheets: For a successful import, the list must be worked with the given template in Google Docs. Lists and CSV files from other systems can lead to technical errors and are not supported by default.
  • Consider the format: The input options as well as the input format must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the import will not work.
    The fields with a small triangle in the upper left corner (1st line) contain important information about the input options and the allowed input format.
    • Example «Begins at»: The date must be entered in number format, e.g. «01.11.2024» (and not about 1 November 2024).


Download list as CSV file

  • If you have filled in all the data in the list, click on «File» - «Download as» - «Comma separated values (.csv, current worksheet)».
  • For example, save the file to your desktop.
  • You have now downloaded a complete, import-ready list.

Note: If you make subsequent changes or corrections in the template, you will need to download the file again for the changes to be included.


Load list into SportsNow

  • Now switch to SportsNow and click in the admin area on «Set up my studio» - «My class schedule» - «IImport list».

  • You will now get an overview of the imported classes.
  • Click on «Import list» to import your classes definitely. Depending on the size of the list, this may take some time.
