Video demo of using FIS XML exports
Check out the video below where LiveHeats Co-Founder Chris Friend walks you through how to use this tool, and you can download the example XML file generated in the video by clicking here.
How to export results into XML
- Ensure you have created and activated Athlete custom fields for the following athlete fields not automatically stored in LiveHeats. When creating these custom fields and importing the data, the fields need to be named exactly as below:
- FIS Code (free text/number, set at athlete level)
- Gender (dropdown with two options: M and W, set at athlete level)
- Once those athlete fields are active in your event, ensure each athlete has the information associated with their profile, during event registration or import
- . You can ensure that information is stored with the athlete by clicking them in the athletes tab within each event division:
- The next step is to add the FIS information to each event division. Go to the Division settings and scroll down to Custom fields, and enter the FIS required information, and click Save:
- Once your event is complete, go to the Reports section which is located on the Tool Bar (left side) and click Download on the FIS Results - {Division name} (XML):
- This will download the file, or open the XML in your web browser. Right click and select Save as to download to your device. Save the file name as CountryCodex. ie: - USA6577.xml.
- Once you've downloaded your XML file, you can then submit to FIS via email

Common questions
Does LiveHeats automatically place athletes in heats as per FIS rules?
Not yet, this is something we're going to add soon. For now you can manually adjust using this tool: Customising progression or advancement within a round
Does LiveHeats integrate with FIS API to pull out the latest FIS Points list for seeding?
Unfortunately not, you'll need to get the FIS Points list data from FIS and import or enter their seed into LiveHeats.
