Information regarding duplicated Userid's

 It is possible, that userid's can be duplicated while importing learner data! While you can import it with your registration template, it can already be existing in the system.

  •  If you have created the already existing userid manually, the import will amend its data
  • If another coordinator of your school has already created such a userid manually, your imported userid will be amended (e.g. a digit might be added), so that the userid is unique again all over the system
