How to enable duplicate matching

Attention. To enable duplicate matching, you require admissions settings permissions. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your system administrator.

Duplicate matching is an optional feature and should be used with a system that has a duplicate matching tool, such as SITS:Vision.

Enable duplicate matching as follows:

  1. Go to Admissions settings and then Duplicate match process.

  2. Select toggle button on to enable the duplicate matching. Enabling the duplicate matching results in the following:

    • Creates the Pending duplicate match desk.

    • Changes the flow of applications in Admissions. New applications from applicants with a merge status of Provisional are allocated to the Pending duplicate match desk until they are checked to determine if the applicant is new or a duplicate of an existing applicant or staff member.

Note that if you turn off toggle button off the duplicate match process, any applications at the Pending duplicate match desk move to the desk defined by the entry point for the course, or if no entry point is defined, to the Unallocated applications desk.
