If loading patron attributes, the 'patron_attributes' field should contain a comma-separated list of attribute types and values. The attribute type code and a colon should precede each value. For example: <strong>INSTID:12345,LANG:fr</strong> or <strong>STARTDATE:January 1 2010,TRACK:Day</strong>. If an input record has more than one attribute, the fields should either be entered as an unquoted string (previous examples), or with each field wrapped in separate double quotes and delimited by a comma: <strong>&quot;STARTDATE:January 1, 2010&quot;,&quot;TRACK:Day&quot;</strong>.  The second syntax would be required if the data might have a comma in it, like a date string.

                If loading patron attributes, the 'patron_attributes' field should contain a comma-separated list of attribute types and values. The attribute type code and a colon should precede each value and each attribute should be bounded in double quotes. For example: <strong>"INSTID:12345","LANG:fr"</strong> or <strong>"STARTDATE:January 1 2010","TRACK:Day"</strong>. It is also very important that smart quotes are disabled in your spreadsheet editor as this can cause the patron import to fail. Here is an example file of how this should look:

                <a href='data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,cardnumber,surname,branchcode,categorycode,patron_attributes

123456789,SMITH,REF,REF,"""COURSE:reference, course"",""CSCODE:cscode reference"""'
