Bulk uploading data

Have you collected data offline with Flow app version 2.4.8 or older and you want to bulk upload it to your Flow instance? Here are the steps you need to do to bulk upload your data:

1) Connect device to your PC Connect the device to a computer using a USB cable. (For some devices you might need to use the MTP, Media Transfer Protocol, protocol.)

2) Find the folder with submissions Open the file system of your device on your computer. Open the akvoflow folder. Here you will see the data folder. This folder hold the submitted data in separate zip files and the photos and videos submitted.

3) Copy the data folder to your PC Copy the entire data folder to your computer. You do not need to open this folder and copy its files separately. Simply copy the complete data folder.

4) Zip the data folder Now make a zip file out of the full data folder. This is an important step as Flow will not allow you to import a different file type than .zip.

5) Bulk upload the zip file Open your Flow instance and go to the Data tab. Here you will find the Bulk upload data tab. Drop the zip file here. Once you see a green tick next to your file, your data has been successfully uploaded to the correct form.

Please note the on your Flow instance you will see instructions in the Bulk upload data tab on how to prepare and upload data collected offline. These instructions are only for user uploading data from Flow app version 2.5.0 and newer. We highly recommend to update your Flow app to the latest available version.
