Deduplication Introduction

Overview

Foireann offers Clubs the opportunity to gain an understanding of exactly who is involved in the Club and in what ways. You must have Club Admin privileges as this is an administrator-only task.

Duplication Information

The main aims of any Club should be to:

• Have one record per Member
• Have juvenile records created, managed and maintained by parents/guardians with accounts of their own
• For those people with an account, the most complete and up-to-date profiles. 

While Foireann eases the administrative burden that used to be placed on Club Officers in compiling and updating Member information, it is still up to the Clubs to manage their Members List to ensure there is only one record per member. For a variety of reasons, this won’t always be the case, and that’s where the Deduplication functionality comes in.
