<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Hi Everyone<div><br></div><div>Our school has installed Koha as our LIS and I think I have a handle on migrating the data. However I am </div><div>totally failing to understand the import patron process. Can someone point me to more comprehensive instructions than the Koha manual. </div>
<div>I keep getting the following error message and I don't know what it means. I should like to be able to tell our techie what is wrong (or indeed If I am doing it wrongly).</div><div><span style="font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold;">Feedback:</span></div>

<br>For starters, your best bet is to download the sample csv and build from there. The error you posted indicates that the header row (or row 1 in your spreadsheet) is malformed.<br><br>If you are using extended patron attributes, you may want to read this comment: <a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5379#c14">http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5379#c14</a> regarding proper syntax.<br>
