Database

The Database section lists database options, such as import and export. Click on the desired option and follow the prompts.

Import Data

Click on Import to import items into the current program from Genesis Food (EXL), from Genesis Supplements (EXLX), or from from a tab delimited text file (TXT), a comma-separated value file (CSV) or from an Excel spreadsheet (XLS) or (XLSX). 

Importing directly from an exl, exlx, csv or txt file:

Please see these instructions to import an Ingredient.

Please see these instructions to import a Formula.

Importing from Genesis Food (EXL) or Genesis Supplements (EXLX):
This option imports all recipes/formulas and ingredients as supplement formulas and ingredients.

Search for the desired file where prompted. Duplicates will be overwritten unless the Skip Existing box is checked. 

Export Data

Click on Export to export all supplement formulas and ingredients from the current database into an EXLX file. Choose the location for the saved file when prompted. Exported files may be used as a backup, or may be shared with another computer running the software. 

Rebuild Index

Click on Rebuild Indexes to refresh the full-text search with data from the current database. This may be useful in a multi-user environment, where more than one user is adding ingredients or formulas to a common database at the same time. Clicking on Rebuild Indexes will update the searches to include database items added from other program users.
