window will appear.
2. Locate the desired Patient Group Location and click the OK button.
Note: In order to modify the Patient Group Location you must have administrative privileges
on your computer.

Importing Data Files

You can import existing ResScan 3.0 (or later) data files.
1. From the File menu, choose Import. The Import Patients dialog is displayed.
2. In the Import From field, choose the source of the files and select the files required.
3. In the Import To field, choose the destination of the files from the Patient groups displayed.
If you tick Automatically overwrite pre-existing patients box, imported files will overwrite files of the
same name that already exists in ResScan.

Exporting Data Files

You can export ResScan summary data from patient file to comma separated value (CSV) files
for use with other programs.
1. From the File menu, choose Export. The Export Patient file to CSV dialog is displayed.
Note: Before opening the dialog box, ResScan displays an indexing message. This message
is generally brief, however you can cancel indexing by pressing the Cancel button.
2. Select the patient group from the Patient Group drop down list.
3. Select the date range from which to generate the CSV files.
4. Select one or more patient files from the list of patients.
5. Click the Export Selected button.
A CSV file is generated for each of the selected patients. The name of the file is that of the
patient.
Alternatively, you can export all patient files in a patient group to a single CSV file by clicking the
Export All button. The name of the generated CSV file is that of the patient group.
After exporting your files, Windows Explorer automatically launches to the folder to which the
files have been saved, either My Documents\ResMed\ResScan\Exports (Windows XP) or
<Username>\Documents\ResMed\ResScan\Exports (Windows Vista and Windows 7).
Note: You cannot select the units for exported data. Eg, pressures are always exported as
cm H O, even if you have selected hPa in the Options dialog box.
