You can export your selections to a file, then send the file to others with Betbotpro so they can import.
This is good for tipsters who have customers that need the same selections.
When importing you must have the correct race meetings already loaded.
All selections should also have been downloaded, ie. rows turn white in colour.
You can also import csv files from other sources or tipsters.
Advanced Importer details
It is invoked by the "Instance->Import Selection" menu item.
When you import a new file (from the Choose File dialog or dropping/dragging it inside the form), the bot tries to
make two kind of predictions based on the data of the second row (it avoids first row data as it might be a header)
1) Predict the delimiter
2) Predict the type of data for each column
For now it can predict 3 types:
i) StartTime (if the second row contains a text with a valid date/time)
ii) MarketName (if the text can be found under "Market" column on the loaded markets)
iii) SelectionName (if the text can be found on the loaded selection names)
The user can also set the delimiters manually and can set each column's type by clicking on the column header.
After each change, the grid tries to match a loaded selection which appears under the "Matches" column.
Generally, in order the bot to be able to match a selection, the import file should include a valid selectionId or
selectionName column.
The other column types, just make the search quicker or avoid duplicate matches
(e.g. when the same selection name is found in winners or place market) or in different markets at the same day.
If there are more than one matches, the user can select the preferred clicking on (x Matches) cell.
If the user clicks Import button, then the matched selections are ticked as usual.
Test cases:
1) Using betbotpro "Export Selections" feature. The produced file can be imported successfully if the users
set as "SelectionId" the 4th column
2) Using betbotpro "Export to excel" and then save a Tab delimiter file from excel. The produced file can be imported
successfully automatically (the bot identifies the selectionName column)
3) Using the csv file from The Bet Plan, selections are imported.
