Export & AutoBackup

February 15th, 2010

Example: Exported Data

You want to protect your data and so do we.  Should you feel the need to leave us, we want you to have all your stuff that you worked hard to track.

Now you can export all your data through the Settings>Log Importer & Exporter. We looked at many compression algorithms and formats and settled on a zipped Comma Separated Values (.csv) which can be easily opened with Microsoft Excel™ or NotePad™. Windows, Mac and Linux users should have no problems opening these up and exploring their data.

Furthermore, even though your log data is backed up, encrypted, and sent to three datacenters around the world daily for safe keeping, we thought you might want to have a backup of your own… automatically. Now, by clicking the “Backup Quarterly by Email” check box, we will email you a compressed copy of your log every three months to provide even greater peace of mind.

To edit your settings, visit  Settings which can be found under the  icon in the menu.

NOTE: Backups are sent on the first day of a new quarter from auto_backup(at)runpartner.com. Make sure your spam filters do not reject them.

Ellipsification Example

There are some problems you like to have. Users logging more activities/comments/ratings than you can show is one of them.

Now on all RP boards, if the number of items showed exceeds the maximum for that board, informative ellipses marks (…) will appear at the bottom of that board to notify you that it has been double stuffed. For most boards you can click the View All link to visit another page to view all the content.

Now search using all features listed on the search pages and from the many View All links throughout the site.
