Dear Group members, I am new to Koha and I am trying to set up my first system. I downloaded the patron.csv file and follow directions in Nicole Engard Youtube video except that I enter only last name and first names as a test. When I uploaded the file I received the error *invalid data for "category...".* Do I need to enter the data for all the fields before I upload the patron file? -- Zuulu Cooper Founder & Executive Director Libraries for Liberia Foundation 5919 Dakar Road West Suite 100 Westerville, OH 43081 614 270 3464 Skype: Shaka_zu00 website : http://librariesforliberiafoundation.com email: info@librariesforliberiafoundation.com *“Cause change and lead, accept change and survive, resist change and die.” * Ray Noorda - 1924-2006, technology pioneer, Novell Corporation CEO.
You need a cardnumber and a patron category for each patron. I think that might be all that's required by the upload - but I could be wrong. Nicole On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 8:32 AM, ZUULU COOPER <shakazu00@gmail.com> wrote:
