What are Catapult Portable Data Files?
Exporting Catapult Portable Data Files is a method of sharing your Activities to other OpenField Accounts and/or colleagues using OpenField software.
This feature will package all of your Activity data, including Periods, Device-mappings, and Rotations into a new Catapult Portable File (*.cpf) which can be imported into another instance of OpenField.
The Portable Data Files feature is available for OpenField Console versions 1.19 and above, and is enabled via an Account Module.

How to Import Catapult Portable Data Files into OpenField
-
Ensure that you have set up corresponding Athletes in the OpenField Cloud Account that you want to import the data into. The Data Importer will pair exported files to Athletes by matching names with members of your default team.

- Select Catapult Portable File as the Source type.
- Select Browse to navigate to the saved Catapult Portable File(s) (*.cpf), click to select the Folder the .cpf files were saved in then click OK.
- Follow the Data Importer prompts until the import is completed.
Note: OpenField now attempts to match each imported file against its list of athletes. Matchednames are displayed in black, with any unable to be matched highlighted in red.
