What we describe below only works with latin (ASCII) characters. You are advised to use BridgeTabs Load names function to make names appear in other characters (the Load names file is in Unicode).
IMPORT PLAYER NAMES
The Import names option under the File Menu is used to make names from a .txt file available to the BridgeTabs. The recommendation is to keep all possible names on file so that also visiting players can be presented with name. You can subscribe to such lists from support@bridgetab.com.
The command Import player names is reached from the FILE menu; it opens a Windows (standard) Open dialog. Select the source file and importation will be automatic.
Import failed
If you get the message Import failed it is because the source file was not correctly formatted.
Invalid name
The names that are listed under the header Invalid name were omitted at the import if the list seems empty (as in the example shown to the right). That is so because the source file contained blank lines. You can safely disregard entirely blank reports.
Format of source file
The source file must be a comma separated file in the form <player number>,<player name>. An example:
2028XXX,Elena A
1563XXX,Beverly A'Hearn
9027XXX,Terje Aa
6792XXX,Chris Aaberg
2644XXX,H Aaberge
(XXX has replaced the last 3 digits in the example.)
The ID can be up to 12 digits and the player name can be of any length. You can indicate in what order you want the control software to show names. This is done in the Preferences dialog that is opened via the SYSTEM menu.
