Batch Import

If you have multiple lab reports to import at once — for example, several years of annual blood work — you can drop them all at the same time instead of importing one by one.

How Batch Import Works

1. Select multiple PDF files (hold Shift or Ctrl/Cmd while clicking to select several)
2. Drag them all onto the drop zone at the same time
3. Get Based processes them one file at a time, in order

For each file, you go through the normal import preview — review matched markers, then confirm or skip. The app shows you which file you're on (e.g., "File 2 of 5") so you always know your progress.

Confirm or Skip Per File

You have full control over each import:

• Confirm — save the results from this file and move to the next
• Skip — discard this file's results and move to the next without saving

This is useful if one report in the batch has formatting issues or belongs to someone else.

Summary at the End

After all files are processed, a summary notification tells you:

• How many files were imported successfully
• How many were skipped (you chose to skip)
• How many failed (the AI couldn't extract usable data)

Recommended order

If your PDFs cover different dates, Get Based sorts data chronologically regardless of the import order. But importing oldest-to-newest can make it easier to review previews, since you'll see your history build up in order.

Requires an AI provider

Each file in the batch goes through the same AI analysis as a single import. Make sure your AI provider is configured before starting a batch. See AI Providers.

Tips for Large Batches

• Start with a small batch (2–3 files) to make sure everything imports as expected before processing a decade of reports
• Use JSON export to back up your data before a large batch import — see JSON Export & Import
• If a file fails, you can always import it individually afterward
