Import-Export

Import / Export data

FanDraft allows for the importing and exporting of data files to and from other fantasy products through the "Import-Export" section.

This area also allows you to migrate older FanDraft league files.

To import/export data:

Select "File > Import-Export", or click on the "Reports / Export data" menu and then select the "Import/Export data" tab.

To Import FanDraft 2010 settings:

Click on the "Import FanDraft 2010 settings" button.
Find the file through the "Choose a file" dialogue box, and double click (note: FanDraft files have a ".fan" extension)

Draft Order software integration:

If you use FanSoft Media's popular Draft Order software, you can now integrate the draft results with FanDraft.

To import a Draft Order data file:

Click on the "Import Draft Order results" button.
Find the file through the "Choose a file" dialogue box, and double click (note: Draft Order import files have a ".do2" extension)
Once loaded, it will import the league/team settings, as well as the draft order results from the Draft Order software.

Note: League size and team names must match for export to work properly.

To export a Draft Order data file:

Click on the "Export data for Draft Order" button.
Save your data file somewhere you can easily find it again

The export files are used in the case that you would like to quickly import your league/team settings into Draft Order.

MyFantasyLeague integration:

If you use MyFantasyLeague.com as your League Manager service, you can now integrate the setup and draft results with FanDraft.

To import your MyFantasyLeague league and team settings:

Click on the "Import-Export" from the "File" menu.
In the "Import" section (on top), click on the MyFantasyLeague button.
Enter in your League ID# (found on MyFantasyLeague)
If you run a Deluxe League on MFL, check mark that box, then select the conference you are importing.
Click "Import MyFantasyLeague settings"
Once loaded, it will automatically import your league name, logo, team names, team logos, and keeper rosters.

To send your draft results to MyFantasyLeague:

Click on the "Import-Export" from the "File" menu.
In the "Export" section (on bottom), click on the MyFantasyLeague button.
Enter in your League ID# and password (found on MyFantasyLeague), and then click "Upload results to MyFantasyLeague"
This could take up to a minute, so be patient during the upload.
If successful, you will be alerted, and draft results and rosters on MFL will automatically be updated.

Mapping Team ID#

If the team names between FanDraft and MyFantasyLeague do not match EXACTLY, you will have to do some manual "Mapping".

To avoid this, make sure the names in each match exactly (including case sensitivity).

If you teams match perfectly, you will not see this screen, and will be given an immediate "Success" message.

If you are brought to the "Mapping" screen, it is important to carefully set this information correctly, or it could create incorrect rosters on your league manager.

To map/align team ID numbers:

Click on a team in the "League Manager IDs" box.
Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to move teams up and down the list.
Continue doing this with all of the teams in this box, until they exactly match the order of the teams in the "FanDraft Team IDs" box
When the list of teams in each box is in the exact same order, click on the "Upload results to MyFantasyLeague.com" button.

Deluxe Leagues

FanDraft does not allow one league to select the same player on multiple teams.

If you run a "Deluxe League" with MyFantasyLeague and hold two separate drafts, you CAN still import the draft results by importing via the two separate FanDraft leagues.

You will want to be sure to correctly map/align the team IDs during the import process.
