Thread-topic: [Dhis2-users] Avoid double registration of Tracked entities

Hi,

This will not work, because each of this attributes can have a duplicate. E.g. you might have two persons by the name of “John”. It is the combination of those attributes that needs to be unique, as it is less likely to have two people with the same First Name and Surname, born on the same date.

There should be another solution. Our clients are very surprised how a system is unable to lookup in the existing records and identify duplicates. Anyone?

Georgi

Hi,

The only possibility we have at the moment is if you make those attributes unique.

Hello!
Is there a way to avoid a double registration of Tracked entities? E.g. the attributes are Name, Surname, Date of Birth, can I create a program rule that searches if all three values match existing records to prompt a message that a person with such attributes already exists? Another suggestion is also welcome.

Regards,

Georgi
