[Koha] Duplicate Records Created When Importing Large Batch of, Records into Koha

[Frances Sandeman]

Hi,

Thankyou all for your help and answers.  I can use these as future 
references.
The problem was clicking on the import button *more than once. * My work 
colleague
didn't think anything was happening as it was taking a while to import 
the records because
it was quite a large batch so she *clicked on the import button more 
than once *which created
duplicates half way through the import process.  It was confusing 
because whilst I was editing
and checking these records there was only one bib record for each 
duplicate and the correct
number of records had been imported.  When it came time to revert the 
records,* I clicked on
the revert button more than once.*  When our IT cleaned up and reindexed 
the system and we
started the process again it worked properly as we only clicked on the 
import and revert button
ONCE!  Problem Solved :-)

Regards

*Frances Sandeman*
