Deduplication
In Social Registry (SR), the data are received and recorded in several ways. SR is dynamically updated via APIs, Service Provider Portal, ODK, Login-based direct data entry, etc. To maintain the data integrity in SR, a process is a must to ensure the uniqueness and accuracy of the recorded registrants' data. SR has a solution/feature named Deduplication.
Deduplication
Deduplication is the process that identifies and stores the duplicate entries of the recorded registrants' data in SR. It can manage duplicate records within separate groups and individual registries. The user must have an Administrator or Registrator role to access this functionality.
ID-based deduplication
ID-based deduplication is a method that detects duplicates based on unique identifiers i.e., functional ID or National ID assigned to each recorded registrant belonging to an individual/group. This method ensures each ID is distinct and helps to maintain a single entry for each recorded registrant. In this way, it eliminates redundancies and keeps the database more reliable, clean, and efficient.

It detects the group member with the same kind and removes the duplicate group member based on ID.
Separate Registry Groups Deduplication
Each registry group's deduplication procedure enables precise duplicate identification and management within discrete categories
Deduplicate Button
With the addition of a Deduplicate button to the Social Registry screen, users can initiate the deduplication process easily.
Automated Record Identification
