Hi Aimee, What is the length of the UIDs? The dhis2 accepts UID length of 11 and can accept any other types (letters and numbers) so long as the first one is a letter.
If you want to avoid duplication of UID, the easiest way is by generating them yourself using other tools or languages. See the following example on UID generation. https://github.com/jason-p-pickering/dhis2-data-munging/blob/master/bootstrap/bootstrap.Rmd Thank you. ========================== Isaiah Nyabuto +254729572616 Bsc.

We were hoping to add a prefix onto the automatic UID generation - such as NG#######, where the prefix "NG" remains consistent and the numbers are automatically generated. We've experimented with the UID options and the system does not accept this pattern. Has anyone successfully done this before or have any ideas as to how to do this?
