Data Migration (Previous Software)

What information OWNA can migrate from your previous software provider

Data migration is a great way to transfer information from your previous software provider. It offers a quick way to move your children, parents/carers/guardians, and account information into your OWNA Portal.

This guide will provide information on what our team requires to assist with migrating information from your previous software provider, as well as what information can and cannot be imported.
⚠️ Before Continuing please take note of the below⚠️ 


  • All information that has been provided will be loaded, this includes any inactive children or families that are included in the reports. Make sure this information has been removed before sending your reports


  • No documents or files can be bulk imported into the OWNA Platform. This includes any enrolment forms, programming documents, etc, that originated outside the OWNA Platform. These will need to be manually uploaded by the service if required.

Required Data Files

💡Our Onboarding or Support team may be able to help with which reports to use based on your software provider. Please contact the team if additional assistance is required.

To bulk import information into the OWNA Portal, please provide any reports that contain

  • Childs Information & Booking Pattern / Permanent Attendances*
  • Parent/Carer/Guardian Information
  • Their relationship (which child(ren) they should be linked to)

* Please refer to the Child Information section below for what Attendance information we require 

Supported File Types

To import any information, reports must only come in the supported formats below. Any reports provided in an unsupported file format may cause delays in completing your data migration.
