The File menu

In the Classic and New View, the File menu allows you to import and export your data into and out of FrontlineSMS

Exporting your FrontlineSMS data into other programs

FrontlineSMS allows you to export all of your Contact information, incoming and outgoing message data, and Keyword information to separate comma separated files (CSV) for importing into other programs such as Open Office or Microsoft Office. To export your data, select Export... from the menu and follow the screen prompts


Importing data from other applications

If you have a large number of Contacts and mobile numbers in other applications that you want to add to FrontlineSMS, you can do this through the Import contacts... menu option. Import contacts... will read any comma separated file (CSV), which needs to be in the following format:

<Contact name>, <Mobile number>, <Email address>, <Notes>

Refer to the application user guide if you don't know how to export your data into a CSV file


Exit

Quits FrontlineSMS. All processing and checking/receiving of messages will stop until you re-start the program
