I want to load "new" users - This is how I update our students on a regular basis. I have some development in the works for this to be run as a cron job where it would "regularly" go out and pull in a file and process it so I don't have to do this manually. David Schuster Plano ISD Ed Roche wrote:

Hi All

I just had to do a mass update of all our patrons to add an extended attribute and a value for that attribute. To do this I used an export from our system that tracks our student records and used the patron import feature. It work fine except I don't think the section "Field to use for record matching" is working properly. The reason I say this is because there were about 14 new student that were part of the import file that were not currently in Koha it added there info when all I wanted to do was update what was already there. I guess it kind of makes sense but maybe we could have an option that we can select only the patrons that are currently in the database to update.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
