How to Access Garmin Data?

Step 1: Log in to the admin portal and open the record dashboard for the program that contains Garmin data.

After logging in with your secure credentials, navigate to the dashboard that lists all your active programs. Ensure that you select the program which is set up to collect Garmin data. This step confirms that you are in the right place before proceeding to review the data.

In this step, click on the “Health Data” tab to filter and display only the Garmin health metrics. This section will show you data such as heart rate, step count, sleep patterns, and other wearable information. Review the displayed data to confirm that everything has been recorded correctly.

How to Export Garmin Data?

Step 1: Return to the record dashboard of the program that contains Garmin data.

Go back to the main record dashboard for the selected program. This dashboard is your central hub for all the data, and ensuring you are in the correct program is critical before initiating the export process.

Step 2: Click on “Export Program Data” and wait for the export file to become available for download.

Once on the dashboard, locate and click the “Export Program Data” button. This action triggers the system to compile all available Garmin data into a CSV file. Depending on the amount of data, this process may take a few moments—please wait for the progress indicator to confirm that the file is ready.

Step 3: When the file is ready, download the CSV file to view each participant’s Garmin data.

After the export process is complete, a download link will appear. Click the link to save the CSV file onto your device. You can then open this file with your preferred spreadsheet software to review and analyse the Garmin data for each participant, supporting further research or reporting needs.
