Using Identifier in OtherIdentifier table correctly

Sp v7.11.3

Hi!

I’ve mapped the other identifiers of my COs (Specimen No) in the field “Identifier” from Other Identifier table. However, when I search for these COs, I notice that the results are multiplied by the number of other Identifiers. For example, I only have one CO named DAVFP1, but the query returns two results because there are two other identifiers. The COs also appear twice on the map if I include the other identifiers in the query. Should I instead merge the other IDs before importing and map them to the “Other ID Remarks” field instead?

Thank you!

Hi @Amelie,

To get the results to appear in one row in queries you’ll just need to use the (aggregated) value in the query. If you’ve never set up a table aggregation, we have documentation on it here! Creating a table aggregation will combine all the records into a single string so only one row is returned instead of multiple.

Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions!

Thank you! That was the part I was missing!
