Discontinue Duplicate Person
WINDOW OVERVIEW:
The Discontinue Duplicate Person window is used when a person has been entered into the N-FOCUS system more than one time. This may be accidental or used to "protect" information for subsidized adoption cases, family violence situations, or certain guardianship cases.
If the person is a duplicate on the system and is not involved in a protected situation, one instance should be designated as permanent and the other instance(s) discontinued with the reason of duplicate.
The Discontinue Duplicate Person window opens when the Discontinue Duplicate Person option is selected on the Person Detail window Actions drop down menu.
The Close Active Involvements window will display with all the active involvements that need to be closed before the discontinue duplicate person action can be taken.
