Checking for duplicate information within itemsets

The InForm Data Import utility can determine whether data already exists in the database by comparing the data itemset in which you are mapping to existing itemsets in the database.

For example, if you are importing lab information and the subject name, the data, and the type of test match data are already in the database, this might indicate that the data is a duplicate. The InForm Data Import utility recognizes this as duplicate data and does not add a second instance of the data in the database.

To use this feature:

  1. In the Submission Type window, select Itemset.
  2. Click Continue.

    The Field Definition dialog box appears.

  3. Click Next to navigate to the data object.
  4. Select InForm Item Path for the data object to match to an itemset in the database.
  5. Select Match Itemset instance with this field.
  6. Repeat these steps for any other data items you want to compare.
