You did not specify if you mean to use Kyle's Windows tool or the KOCT Firefox plugin Either way, both will allow you to capture the following basic data: Transaction timestamp (which will answer for your issue date) Transaction type - issue / return Patron ID / Barcode Item ID / Barcoder Your Due date requirement will be serviced by your circ rules set up in Koha, so no need to add them. Also note that your SOUL template did not indicate the transaction type - issue / return, this needs to be there in the sheet you plan on converting. The .koc file format is here - http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_offline_circulation_file_format As for the plugin root, the concerned file generated is a sqlite db - offlinecirc.sqlite. It is a simple table. MS-Excel -> CSV export -> .koc or offlinecirc.sqlite would be the recommended workflow. cheers -indra -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
