Specifying Unique Attributes for a Type of Entity

The Uniqueness screen allows you to define the attributes of an entity type that are used to check for potential duplicate entries when adding a new entity to a source entity.

For example, you can define that the Family name, Given name 1, and Citizenship Details attributes of a person entity type are unique.

 

When a user adds a new person to a source entity, using the Person Maintenance screen, ICM checks whether the family-name, given-name 1, and citizenship details entered match those of existing people in the system.
