# Data Exports/Imports from other LMS

The Affinity platform can be your system of record for all of your training data, even if that data was previously stored in other locations. We don't want a blocker to switching to Affinity to be that your data is already living somewhere else!

As such, we can process exported data from many other LMS' like BAI and OnCourse. What we need is a CSV export that contains the following information:

* Learner Email
* Course Name
* Course Due Date
* Learner Assigned Date
* Learner Start Date (optional)
* Learner Finish Date (optional)
* Learner Status: Assigned, In Progress, Completed
* Duration (optional)
* Unique ID (optional)

Note that many of the fields are optional, but would help enrich your data.

Providing this CSV, our data team can import it into your account against the courses which most closely match our courses and your data can continue to live in Affinity historically and going forward.
