Overview
The ability to copy sessions is a feature exclusive to emWave Pro and Pro Plus. It allows practitioners and advanced users to transfer physiological data between separate database files without losing session details or coherence scores. Note: If you only need to move a session to a different person within the same database, please use the Moving Sessions procedure instead.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Enable Multiple Databases Before you can transfer data, the software must be set to handle more than one file at a time.
- Go to Preferences and check the box for “Enable Multiple Databases”.
2. Open Source and Target Files
- Go to the File menu and open the database containing the original sessions (Source).
- Go to the File menu again and open the database where you want the sessions to go (Target). Both windows should now be visible or accessible.
3. Select the Sessions In the Progress window of your Source database:
- To select individual sessions: Hold the Control key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) and click each session.
- To select a range: Click the first session, hold the Shift key, and click the last session in the range.
4. Execute the Transfer
- With the sessions highlighted, go to the Edit menu and select Copy.
- Click on the Target database window to make it active. Ensure you have selected the correct user profile in this database.
- Go to the Edit menu in the Target window and select Paste.
Important Technical Notes
- Database Size: To maintain optimal software performance, HeartMath recommends keeping individual database files at or below 20 MB.
- Data Integrity: Copying a session creates a duplicate in the target database while leaving the original in the source file. If you wish to remove the original, you must delete it manually after confirming the paste was successful.
