Group export and import
In the Network version of TypeItIn you can share groups of buttons with other users.
To export a group, right click on the Group list and select Export group to file from the Group menu. Select the directory that you want to save the group file to and click the Save button. A Group export options dialog will pop up. After you click OK TypeItIn will save the group to a groupname.tgf file in the directory you selected.
By default the group will be saved as groupname.tgf. For example, the Example group will be saved as example.tgf. You can change the file name, but the name of the group will be preserved.
A TypeItInList.tgl file will automatically be created in the same directory. This file is required to use the Monitor Group Directory option in Setup.
To import a group, right click on the Group list and select Import group from file from the Group menu. Select the directory where the group file is located, select the appropriate file, and click the Open button.
TypeItIn will create a new group if the group you are importing does not already exist and import the buttons. If the group already exists TypeItIn will add the new buttons to the existing group. If a button with the same name already exists in the group, the button will be updated with the information from the group file.
You can also export a group to in Comma Separated Value (*.csv) file format that can be imported by other programs like Microsoft Excel. In the Export group to file dialog, select *.csv as the Save as type before clicking the Save button.
The Import function also supports the Comma Separated Value (*.csv) file format. You can create a .csv file with Microsoft Excel that can be imported into TypeItIn to create a group of buttons based on Excel data. The easiest way to get this started is to first Export a group in the .csv file format and modifying the file with your Excel data.
