[Koha] patron import

[RAC IT Department]

I am not 100% certain but I would think that the following would be the
minimum necessary to identify users with the same first or last name ...

cardnumber, surname, firstname, branchcode, password, and userid (possibly
categorycode too)

You can always do a test import of one patron. That one patron can easily
be erased.

Patron import is very useful when you want to import a large number of
patrons and/or update current patrons. It wouldn't make sense to import
them and then have to go one by one and set username and password, etc.

Hope that helps...
Bill
