Title: How to Import a Setlist database into Bandhelper?
Post by: Graeme Hague on June 21, 2021, 01:57:32 AM
Hi everyone, I'm stumped on what I thought would be a relatively simple task. I've exported a Setlist Maker database to a location easily found. But I can't find any Import function in Bandhelper anywhere. A few attempts prompt a Help dialogue that mentions an Import function in the Songs menu, but I'm finding nothing.

I'm totally new to Bandhelper, which I now have on an Android device, and I'm exporting a database from an iPad. But that aside, I can't find any Import menu anywhere anyway, let alone worry about doing it correctly.

I've tried the web interface, but no luck.

I must be missing something simple, right? Thanks for any help.

Please see the last section, "IMPORTING PROJECTS FROM SET LIST MAKER," on this page:

The secret,everyone, is the Export to BandHelper function that's in the Utilities menu, not the "normal" Export menus elsewhere. Plus it has to be done on the website GUI which will sync to your device. It can't be done in the app itself.
Thanks Arlo!

You're welcome. But just to clarify for others, you don't need any "secret" info because these steps are included in the instructions I linked to above.
