The other thing I would include is email address, if you want issue circulation alerts and overdue notices.

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...

Hi all,

Can someone tell me what the minimum required fields are for doing a patron
import ?

I know "branchcode" and "categorycode" are required (and must match the
library...).

thanks,
