Importing decisions into Rayyan

Hi,

I would like to import a file with decisions of Include, Exclude, or Maybe into Rayyan for a given list of articles that were already imported into Rayyan and later exported as a csv file.

Is there anyway i can work outside of Rayyan (in xl) for making decisions and then import my decisions into Rayyan.

Please let me know how i could do this.

Thanks,

Anjana

  Hi, 

  Unfortunately, there is no way to import decisions to Rayyan at the moment.

  When you export your work from Rayyan in CSV format, Rayyan-specific information (decisions, labels, exclusion reasons and notes) will be appended to the notes field of each record in the exported file. When importing that exported file again to Rayyan, Rayyan will not parse the notes field and apply the customizations on the imported records. The review will contains all of the data, but the customizations will only reside in the notes field. 

  We might add this feature in future versions.

  This function is really needed. Lack of it made me and my colleagues search for alternative platform with this capacity. Please fix it.
