  • Get there: More > Tools > Patrons and circulation > Import patrons

Kullanıcı içe aktarım aracı kullanıcıları her hangi bir zamanda toplu halde eklemek için kullanılabilir. Bu araç yeni öğrencilerin toplu kaydı için üniversitelerde ve okullarda yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Creating a patron import file

You can download a blank CSV file with a header from the start page of the patron import tool that you can use as a template for your patron import. The header contains all fields that can be used with the patron import tool. You can delete fields and columns you don’t need with the exception of a few mandatory ones. When overlaying, if your new .csv includes blank columns, any existing values in patron records will be overwritten with blanks. It is best to remove any blank columns in a .csv to ensure no existing data is removed.

Önemli

cardnumber, surname, and all fields you have defined in the BorrowerMandatoryField preference are required and must match valid entries in your database.

Önemli

‘parola’ düz metin olarak muhafaza edilmelidir, ve bir Bcrypt karmaya dönüştürülecektir.

Şifreleriniz henüz şifrelenmişse, seçeneklerle ilgili sistemler yöneticinizle görüşün.

Önemli

Date formats should match your dateformat system preference, and must be zero-padded, e.g. ‘01/02/2008’. Alternatively you can supply dates in ISO format (e.g. ‘2008-12-01’).

Önemli

If your data contains special characters or diacritics, make sure your file is encoded in UTF-8. Otherwise, the special characters will not be imported correctly.

Not

Eğer kullanıcı öznitelikleri yükleniyorsa, ‘patron_attributes’ alanı nitelik türleri ve değerlerinin virgülle ayrılmış listesini içermelidir.

  • Öznitelik türü ve kodu her değerin önüne gelmelidir.

    • Örneğin: “INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs”

    • Birden çok değer tanımlı ise bu alan tırnak işaretleri içine alınmalıdır.

    • Değerler boşluk içerebileceği için, ilave çift-tırnak gerekli olabilir:

      • “INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs,””BASEBALL:White Sox””

Not

It’s possible to set restrictions using the patron import tool. If the expiration date and comment match an existing restriction, the one in the import file will be skipped. So a patron import can be repeated multiple times without creating duplicate restrictions. But if one of the criteria is different, a new restriction will be added.

Importing patrons

Once you have created your file, you can use the patron import tool to bring the data into Koha.

  • CSV dosyanızı seçin

    image255

  • Choose to match on ‘cardnumber’ or ‘username’ to prevent adding of duplicate card numbers to the system. Additional matchpoints can be set up using patron attributes marked as unique.

    image256

  • Sonra içe aktardığınız tüm kullanıcılara uygulayacağınız varsayılan değerleri seçebilirsiniz

    • For example, if you’re importing patrons specific to one branch you can use the field on the import form to apply the branch code to all those you are importing.

  • Finally, you need to decide on what data you want to replace if there are duplicates.

    • Eşleme kaydı, seçtiğiniz alanda kullandığınız eşleme kriterinin çoğaltılmasını önlemek üzere bulunmaktadır.

    image257

    • When using patron attributes in your installation, you can choose how they are handled on import. You can either decide to always overlay all patron attributes or you choose to only replace patron attributes included in your import file. This will leave other attributes untouched.

Only staff with the manage_csv_profiles permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.

  • Get there: More > Tools > Additional tools > CSV profiles

CSV profiles are created to define how you would like your cart or list to export.

CSV profiles are also used in the acquisitions module to export baskets and late orders, in the serials module to export late issues, and in the reports module to export the list of lost items.

Adding a CSV profile

To add a CSV profile,

  • Click on ‘New CSV profile’

    Add new CSV profile form

    • Profile name: enter a unique and meaningful name for the profile. This name will appear on the export pull down list when choosing ‘Download’ from your cart or list, or when choosing the profile in the acquisitions, serials or reports module to export baskets, late orders, etc.

      View of the cart with the 'Download' button open and "CSV - Simple export" is selected, other options are iso2709, RIS, and BibTex.

    • Profile type: this determines what type of fields you plan to use (MARC or SQL) to define your profile; it will also affect the ‘Usage’ options below.

      • If you choose MARC, you will need to enter MARC fields.

        Add new CSV profile form filled with MARC information

      • If you choose SQL, you will need to enter SQL database fields.

        Add new CSV profile form filled with SQL information

    • Usage: this field is used to indicate what type of report this CSV profile is used with:

    • Profile description: you can use this field to expand the profile name. The description will also appear in the OPAC when patrons download content, so make sure it’s clear for your patrons as well.

    • CSV separator: this is the character used to separate values and value groups.

      Not

      Buradaki en yaygın seçenek virgüldür çünkü çoğu elektronik tablo uygulamaları virgülle dosya bölmesini açar.

    • Field separator (only available with MARC profile type): this is the character used to separate duplicate fields.

      • For example, you may have multiple 650 fields and this is the character that will appear in between each one in the column.

        CSV file opened in a spreadsheet software where we can see the pipes separating subject headings when there are more than one

    • Subfield separator (only available with MARC profile type): this is the character used to separate duplicate subfields.

      • For example, you may have multiple $a subfields in a field.

    • Encoding: use this field to define the character encoding used when saving the file.

    • Only available on the staff interface (only available with MARC profile type): check this box to limit this CSV profile to the staff interface only, meaning patrons will not be able to use this profile to export their cart or lists from the OPAC.

    • Profile MARC fields (only available with MARC profile type): enter the fields or subfields to export, separated by pipes.

      • For example:

        200\|210$a\|301

      Not

      You can use the dollar sign ($) to separate the field number and subfield code, or simply write the field number and subfield code together.

      For example:

      200\|210$a\|301

      Or without the dollar sign:

      200\|210a\|301

      Tüyo

      You can use your own headers (instead of the ones from Koha) by prefixing the field number with a header, followed by the equal sign.

      For example:

      Personal name=100\|title=245$a\|300

      Not

      You can customize further the profile with Template Toolkit syntax.

      See Using Template Toolkit in MARC CSV profile below for more information and examples.

    • Profile SQL fields (only available with SQL profile type): enter the database fields to export, including the table name, separated by pipes.

      • For example:

        biblio.title\|biblio.author

      Tüyo

      You can use your own headers (instead of the ones from Koha) by prefixing the field with a header, followed by the equal sign.

      For example:

      Title=biblio.title\|Author=biblio.author

      Önemli

      For late issues claims you can use data from following tables:

      • serial

      • subscription

      • biblio

      • biblioitems

      • aqbookseller

      For basket exports you can use data from following tables:

      • biblio

      • biblioitems

      • aqorders

      • aqbudgets

      • aqbasket

      Önemli

      Exporting late orders requires a profile using the Template Toolkit syntax (the same syntax as the notices and slips).

      There is a default profile that comes with Koha that you can use as an example.

      Title[% separator %]Author[% separator %]Publication year[% separator %]ISBN[% separator %]Quantity[% separator %]Number of claims
[%~ SET biblio = order.biblio ~%]
"[% biblio.title %]"[% separator ~%]
"[% biblio.author %]"[% separator ~%]
"[% bibio.biblioitem.publicationyear %]"[% separator ~%]
"[% biblio.biblioitem.isbn %]"[% separator ~%]
"[% order.quantity%]"[% separator ~%]
"[% order.claims.count%][% IF order.claims.count %]([% FOR c IN order.claims %][% c.claimed_on | $KohaDates %][% UNLESS loop.last %], [% END %][% END %])[% END %]"
[% END %]

  • Click ‘Submit’ to save the new profile.

Using Template Toolkit in MARC CSV profiles

Template Toolkit syntax can be used to build complex CSV files.

For MARC information, you have to use the ‘fields’ variables to access the field list of the current record.

Start with the column heading, equal sign, and the TT variable. Always separate CSV columns with a pipe (|).

For example, this will return a two-column CSV file, with the first column titled “Title” and the second column titled “Author”. The first column will contain 245$a and the second column will contain 100$a:

Title=[% fields.245.0.a.0 %]|Author=[% fields.100.0.a.0 %]

Önemli

It’s not possible to display an entire field (e.g. all of 245) you need to list the subfields you want to display.

The ‘0’ indicate which field or subfield to print if there are more than one. For example, this will fetch the first subfield ‘a’ of the first ‘245’ field it finds in the record:

[% fields.245.0.a.0 %]

Single subfield

This is the syntax to get a single subfield from a MARC field.

For example, to get 245$a:

[% fields.245.0.a.0 %]

Multiple subfields in the same column

To concatenate multiple subfields in one column, you’ll need to use [% FOREACH %]. Remember to always define the end of the FOREACH loop with [% END %].

For example, to get both 245$a and 245$b in the same column:

[% FOREACH field IN fields.245 %][% field.a.0 %][% field.b.0 %][% END %]

Multiple subfield values

The previous examples only fetched the first occurrence of the subfield. In some cases, a field might contain more than one subfield of the same code in a field. In that case, you’ll need to use the join() key. The parentheses contain the separator character.

For example, to get 260$a, $b, and $c, in a case where there might be more than one of each subfield, they will be separated by a semicolon followed by a space:

[% FOREACH field IN fields.260 %][% field.a.join('; ') %][% field.b.join('; ') %][% field.c.join('; ') %][% END %]

Indicator values

The indicators can be accessible using the indicator key.

For example, to get the value of the second indicator of the 245 field:

[% fields.245.0.indicator.2 %]

Fixed-length data field values

You can use substr() (substring) to get values from specific positions in fixed-length data fields.

For example, to get the language from the 008 field (positions 35-37):

[% fields.008.0.substr(35,3) %]

Using conditions

Template Toolkit allows to add conditions, with [% IF %], [% ELSIF %], and [% ELSE %]. Remember to always define the end of the condition with [% END %].

For example, to get 650$a if indicator 2 for 650 is set:

Subject=[% FOREACH field IN fields.650 %][% IF field.indicator.2 %][% field.a.0 %][% END %][% END %]

Tüyo

If you find you have extra spaces in your CSV, you can add tildes (~) inside the TT variables to remove extra whitespaces.

For example, the following code might replace the FOREACH variable with a space, making the title column start with a space:

Title=[% FOREACH field IN fields.245 %][% field.a.join(' ') %][% field.b.join(' ') %][% END %]

To correct this, add tildes at the beginning and end of the FOREACH variable:

Title=[%~ FOREACH field IN fields.245 ~%][% field.a.join(' ') %][% field.b.join(' ') %][% END %]

Modifying CSV profiles

To modify a CSV profile, click the ‘Edit’ button next to the profile.

Alter the necessary fields and click ‘Submit’.

To delete a profile, click the ‘Delete’ button next to the profile.

Using CSV profiles

MARC CSV profiles will appear on the export list or cart menu under the ‘Download’ button in both the staff interface and the OPAC.

View of a list called 'Shakespeare' with the 'Download list' button open and "CSV - Simple export" is selected, other options are iso2709, RIS, and BibTex.

SQL CSV profiles will be available in various Koha modules in the staff interfaces depending on their usage.

  • ‘Late serial issues claims’ CSV profiles will appear at the bottom of the late issues table in the serials module.

  • ‘Export late orders’ CSV profiles will appear at the bottom of the

    late orders table in the acquisitions module.

      • If an OPAC page is limited to a library, only logged in users whose home library matches the page library will be able to access the page.

      • Pages limited to a library will not be accessible to OPAC users who are not logged in, unless your system administrator has configured an ‘OPAC_BRANCH_DEFAULT’ override in virtual host configuration.

      • If a staff interface page is limited to a library, only staff logged into that library will be able to access the page.

    • Publication date: use the publication date field to control from which date your page is accessible, if it should only be accessed at a future date.

    • Expiration date: use the expiration date field to remove the page after a specific date.

      • If this field is empty the page will be available until you remove it manually

    • You can enter the page title and content for each language installed

Not

You can choose which type of editor to use here (either a text editor or a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor) with the AdditionalContentsEditor system preference.

  • After filling in all of the fields, click ‘Save’ at the top of the page.

    • Alternatively, click the arrow next to the ‘Save’ button and choose ‘Save and continue editing’ if you need to stay on this page to continue editing the news item.

  • In the table, a link will be generated for the OPAC or the staff interface or both. Use this link in HTML customizations, news or system preferences such as IntranetNav or IntranetmainUserBlock so that the patrons or staff members can access the new page.

    Not

    To link to a specific page, use the code in the URL with the code= parameter. For example:

    OPACBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/opac-page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42

STAFFCLIENTBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/tools/page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42

    In multi-language installations, use the language= parameter followed by the language code to link to the page in a specific language. For example:

    OPACBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/opac-page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42&language=fr-CA

STAFFCLIENTBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/tools/page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42&language=fr-CA

To use a custom page

Once the page has been developed and saved, you will see a summary table of all custom pages. This table also displays the generated links to access these custom pages. The links will be available in both the default language, and the installed language currently in use by the logged in staff member.

Pages tool main page, with table of current pages

There is a button to preview the created page. This is helpful to check how the page looks and functions before it is deployed.

Preview of a page

Now the page has been created, there are a number of ways to make the page accessible to your patrons in the Koha OPAC.

Example of a page on the OPAC

One option is to use an HTML customisation to add the link to the page to a section of the OPAC. The page can be added as a navigation link (in OpacNav, OpacNavBottom, or OpacNavRight). Depending on the page, it may be more suitable in the header (opacheader), footer (opaccredits), or main section of the homepage (OpacMainUserBlock).

HTML customizations are only displayed on the OPAC, so News items would be the appropriate tool to add the link to the main landing page of the staff interface.

Example of an OpacNav HTML customization with links to pages

The benefit of putting the page link in an HTML customization or News item is that you can use the WYSIWYG editor, instead of writing code. However, there is always the option to write the content in the HTML text editor too, if you prefer.

Those more proficient in writing code could use jQuery (Javascript) to insert their page link anywhere in the OPAC or staff interface.

Example of using javascript in the OPACUserJS system preference to add a link to a custom page under the search bar in the OPAC

Using jQuery, the pages could be added to either interface as simple text links, or as more advanced button links or image links. Add code to the OPACUserJS system preference to apply jQuery to the OPAC, or to the IntranetUserJS system preference to apply jQuery to the staff interface.

Clever ways to use custom pages:

There are many interesting ways to use custom pages in a Koha library. We’ve heard discussion of pages being used for tables of contents, frequently asked questions pages for the library, and enquiry forms.

Example of a custom page, with a form for patrons to send enquiries to the library

Another way to make custom Koha page content accessible for users, would be to catalogue those pages so they pop in in Koha search results, for example library tutorials that patrons may be looking for.

Example of a custom page "How to use eBooks Tutorial" catalogued as a bibliographic record

Once the page has been created, it can be catalogued in the URI field of a record (856$u). Alternatively, it could be catalogued in the URI field of an item attached to a record (952$u). Both of these fields get converted into hyperlinks by Koha. If catalogued in a record or item, it would then be indexed and become searchable.

Once catalogued, these pages could be used in other ways that are typically reserved for books and other records. The records representing pages can be added to lists, or stored in virtual collections or locations that make them easier to find in the catalogue. They could even be captured and displayed in carousels!

Cash management

Koha includes a number of options for dealing with monetary transactions and actions to allow for fine grained tracking of these processes for audit and analytic processes.

Cash registers

Cash registers can be used to track transactions to a specific location in your library. This can be especially helpful for detailing where cash has been taken for payments and then when this cash is subsequently removed and taken to the bank.

Setup

To enable the use of cash registers, you must turn on the UseCashRegisters system preference.

You can then configure cash registers for your library from the cash registers page in the administration module.

Cashup

Not

Only staff with the cashup permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to perform cashups.

The action of ‘cashing up’ can be recorded against a cash register from both the library details and register details pages.

Clicking the Record cashup button will simply record the date and time that the action has taken place and is intended to allow the regular record of when money is collected from the cash register and taken to the bank.

Both of the above pages utilize the cashup record to limit the display of transactions/summaries to only pertinent information, since the last cashup.

Once a cashup has taken place, a summary of the transactions taken during that cashup period is available for display, and printing, via the Summary link found next to the last cashup date on the register details page.

A cashup summary view modal

Cash summary for library

  • Get there: Home > Tools > Cash summary for library

A summary of transaction amounts associated to a libraries cash registers can be found under the ‘Cash summary for library’ page tool.

The summary will list registers associated with your logged in branch alongside information about how much money should be found in each register, what is available to take to the bank and a breakdown of income vs outgoings.

Note: You can also access this page from the left hand menu available on the Point of sale page when that module is enabled.

Transaction history for register

  • Get there: Home > Tools > Cash management > Transaction history for register

A list of all transactions to have taken place at a register is available by clicking on the cash register name from the library details page.

If you have the correct permissions, you can re-print receipts, issue refunds and record cashups from this page.

Note: You can also access this page from the left hand menu available on the Point of sale page when that module is enabled.
