Data Import

If you want to import data from a different application you need to make sure the file to be imported is in CSV format and follows the below structure:

timestamp, comment, type, value1, value2, value3, value4, attachment
2020-12-07 07:42:25,"",1,99.6,,,,

A header line, with column headers separated by a delimiter. MediLog accepts , ; and | as delimiters. The header line in the example here would be “timestamp, comment, type, value1, value2, value3, value4, attachment”. Data items are associated to their tabs by the type value:

WEIGHT = 1
BLOODPRESSURE = 2
DIARY = 3
WATER = 4
GLUCOSE = 5
TEMPERATURE = 6
OXIMETRY = 7

The data line in the example above shows a weight entry.

If you plan to import data from another application I recommend you add a dummy entry to MediLog, export, and modify your data so it fits the MediLog export.

Export/Backup

MediLog backups consist of multiple files, each representing a table of the internal database. To group them all together into a ZIP file.

MediLog will first ask you for a password before the ZIP file is created, you can store a default password in the settings/ZIP Password and you won’t get asked again. If you don’t specify a password you will create an unprotected ZIP file.

Note: Earlier versions (< v3.0) of MediLog used “MediLog” as default password. Unfortunately this created more confusion than protection which is why I switched to a blank password since. Hence, if you are a long time MediLog user and can’t remember your default ZIP password any longer, try “MediLog”.
