How to avoid duplicate entries in data collection

User Support Form Building

Hi, I’m in the process of creating a database where we follow 30-cluster methodology, where there will be 20-30 forms in each cluster, collecting a total of 600 or 900 samples. Many a times, we see there are more samples collected for each cluster. Kindly suggest a way where we could restrict data collection only for a required number of samples from a cluster. If 20 only can be collected, it should be 20 only. I want to have a rule of having more than a constraint of . <=20.
If a form is #2, it should not be entered again for the same cluster.

Kindly help.

Kind regards,
Simon

Hi @fsimon23
Unfortunately we do not have an approach where you can automatically countercheck the form entries done per area (or even cluster). This is not possible within the platform.

You can see similar discussions using the following search parameter
