Preventing duplicate entries by respondents

Welcome to the community, @nkwantanorth! You could do this by exploiting the dynamic data attachment feature as shown below:

In the survey tab of your XLSForm:

Data entry screen as seen in Enketo (when the record is already present in the server):

Reference XLSForm:

Beneficiary Name Check (Case Management).xlsx (9.4 KB)

Please note the following when using the Dynamic Data Attachment feature to work:

  • It takes 5 minutes to sync the data
  • To make this work, you must link the project to itself.

Failing to achieve these points will affect what you have planned. For more details, please feel free to go through our support article:
