Data Migration & CSV Import Toolkit
Seamlessly transition your studio from legacy software like Mindbody, Jackrabbit Dance, StudioPlanner, or custom Excel spreadsheets.
Overview
The Data Migration Toolkit allows studio directors to import years of student history, active class passes, and lead pipelines from legacy software in minutes without data loss.
---1. Supported Platforms & Export Formats
Our ingestion parser natively understands export schemas from the following studio software:
Directly accepts Client Roster (.CSV) & Pricing Option balance exports.
Imports student birthdates, guardian contacts, and family account links.
Pre-configured header mapping for Caribbean and UK dance academies.
Ingests active memberships, expiry dates, and emergency phone numbers.
Download our formatted CSV template and paste your custom student database.
Import belt ranks, award dates, and certificate IDs in bulk.
2. Step-by-Step CSV Migration Workflow
- Export from Legacy Provider: Download your client list as a
.CSVfile from Mindbody, Jackrabbit, or your spreadsheet. - Upload File: In Studio Management PRO, go to Data Migration and drop your CSV into the upload pane.
- Verify Column Mapping: Review the auto-detected columns. If your legacy column was named
Mobile_Phone_Num, confirm it maps toPhone. - Sanitization & Deduplication: The parser automatically cleans whitespace, formats phone numbers to standard international formats, and detects duplicate email addresses.
- Execute Batch Import: Click Start Import. Data is written to your dedicated tenant database in atomic batches of 500 records.
3. Active Student Optimization & Indexing
After importing thousands of student records, run the built-in Active Student Optimization migration. This server process inspects every imported pass and calculates the activeUntil timestamp, enabling instant sub-millisecond search and pagination across active rosters.
