Hi Lauri, I don't believe the Importer in the staff client (which you may also hear referred to as Vandalay) handles incoming item-level data yet, so that means you have to import from a command-line environment on the server using scripts. Such data is often wildly different between ILS's, or even within the same family of ILS's, so there's not really one true way of handling it yet. See Dan's excellent http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib/wiki/ImportDemo for ideas, and let us know if you still get stuck! -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Please join us for the Evergreen 2010 International Conference, April 20-23, 2010 at the Amway Grand Hotel and Convention Center, Grand Rapids, Michigan. http://www.evergreen2010.org/
