Switching from FeedBear, step by step.

Your ideas, comments and votes come with you. Export from FeedBear, import into IvaBoard with the FeedBear preset, and check the first import before you invite your team. This page shows the steps, what moves over, and what does not.

02 / The import

How to switch, in four steps.

Each step is a page you can check before you go on.

  1. Step 1

    Export from FeedBear

    Export your ideas, comments and votes from FeedBear as CSV files. The users file is optional: it gives people their names, and without it a person with no name in your other files shows as “Imported user”.

  2. Step 2

    Import with the FeedBear preset

    In IvaBoard, open the product’s settings, then Import data. Choose FeedBear and add your files. The column names, statuses and date format are filled in for you. Check them against your own file.

  3. Step 3

    Check the first import

    Check the board, the statuses, the date format and the names. Nothing is imported until you press Start import.

  4. Step 4

    Undo the import if needed

    On the import page, press Undo import to remove what that import added. It works only while nobody has voted, commented or changed a status on those ideas.

If a line is refused: nothing is imported, and the import page lists the line numbers. Fix those lines in your export and import the file again.

03 / Check the list

What moves over, and what does not.

We checked this import against one real FeedBear export. Other FeedBear exports can differ, so check the first import before you rely on it.

What moves over

  • Ideas: the title, the text, the status and the date they were posted. A status your product does not have becomes its open status.
  • Comments: the text and the date. Replies stay under their comment. Comments are team-only unless you choose to show them on the portal.
  • Votes, each with the person who cast it.
  • Names: from the users file, when you add it.

What does not move over

  • Tags and attachments.
  • Logins and passwords. People come back as imported participants with no email address.
  • Email. Nobody is emailed, and nobody becomes a follower.
  • Votes with no person behind them. The whole import is refused and the line numbers are listed.

Quick answers

Questions about switching.

  • Will my customers get emails when I import?

    No. The import sends no email and makes nobody a follower. People appear as imported participants with no email address.

  • What is the most one import can take?

    Ideas, votes and comments together, up to 10,000 records, and 10 MB per file. A bigger product is imported in parts.

  • What happens if a line cannot be read?

    Nothing is imported. The page lists the line numbers and a short reason, never the contents of the line. Fix those lines and import the file again.

  • Can you help me move a big board?

    Yes. Ask us, and we will help.
