Setup/installation Instructions
Before First Install
If you intend to import details of your members (which normally is done),
you should create a CSV file before installing (which can be created from Excel).
- The first line is ignored (assumed to be a header)
- The first field of each line is assumed to a member's last name
- The second field of each line is assumed to a member's first name
- The third field of each line is assumed to a member's bar code number, that you
have allocated to them. They need to all be integers, unique and of equal number of
characters, e.g. 1001, 1002 .....
- All other fields and any blank lines are ignored
An example:
My Men's Shed data
Smith,John,1001
Jones,Fred,1002
"Van Donold",Michel,1003
