Why are duplicate accounts being created when I upload a patron data file to update a patron barcode?

Applies to
  • WorldShare Management Services 
Answer

A new account is created in WorldShare if no match is found based on the fields in a patron data file used to match against existing accounts. Additional information about the fields used for matching can be found on the Matching rules for patron data help page.
