Automatic setup for WKO by automatically importing athletes and data from TP.
It's ridiculous that I have to manually create a new athlete for every athlete in WKO when all of that info is already in TP. Since getting WKO, I've basically never used it because the UI and integration is lousy, then for a long, long time it didn't even work at all on the latest version of Windows. Since I've paid for it, I want to try to justify the money I spent, especially after waiting forever for Windows 11 compatibility. Now I'm just annoyed at the prospect of having to spend an hour manually setting up athlete profiles in WKO for athletes already in TP. Why isn't this all automatic?! Why isn't WKO simply an online platform?! Having a desktop app seems pointless when everything else is already online.

Hi Nate, I'm surprised nobody at TP has responded to this, but importing of athletes from TP _IS_ automatic, at least partially. You can do it as part of the initial setup. You'll still have to manually update thresholds, etc but I usually just start with what WKO suggests, then adjust as needed as time progresses. If you already have athletes data from a previous version of WKO, then you can also copy that to the new installation and it will bring over their historical data.
I actually with that TP would add a UI to WKO to let you view all the athletes in a list, and then simply check a box that says whether or not you want to import them (during initial setup), or do turn on/off syncing of the athlete's data (after having already gotten the system setup). It's a pain to click to each athlete individually and update the setting for it, etc all while WKO is trying to update for the newly selected athlete...
