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?

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
