XML overview

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a text format used for the transfer of common data.  

This is GainSeeker’s default format for export and import. It is the only format that exports the notes with the data; other formats export only the data.

To use XML, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 or higher installed on your workstation.  

The XML format uses tags before and after the values for each field. The ending tab begins with a slash “/” character. Below is an example of one data record exported to an XML file.
