Guide for use: | The sequence identifier is used in the NAPAAWL DC to ensure correct updates to existing records, identify duplicates and add unknown records from information system data extracts. For relational databases the sequence identifier equates to the Table associated with the appointment or scheduling component. Currently, the sequence identifier is only unique within the same file that is being loaded into the NAPAAWL DC. |
