Duplicates
Teachers and administrators can report that a user is possibly duplicated.
Possibly duplicate users
The option USERS > Others > Duplicates lists the users who have been reported as possibly duplicates. In each row in the list, under the user, there are two buttons:
- Similar users: Displays a list of users with the same ID (identity number/passport) or the same name as the user in this row.
- Not duplicated: Removes this user from the list. Click on it when you think that this user is not duplicated.
Similar users
After clicking on the Similar users button a list is displayed with all the users that share the ID or the name with the selected user.
For each user in the list the following user information is displayed:
- Basic data:
- Photo
- ID (identity number/passport)
- Surname 1
- Surname 2
- First name
- Institution
- Some figures of use of the platform by the user:
- number of courses in which the user is a teacher
- number of courses in which the user is a student
- number of files uploaded
- date and time of his/her first click
- number of clicks
- number of downloads
- number of posts in forums
- number of messages sent
- List of courses in which the user is a teacher
- List of courses in which the user is a student
For each of the similar users shown in the list an Eliminate user account button is displayed. If the user is marked as a possible duplicate, a Not duplicated button is displayed. Using all the information from each similar user, system administrators must decide if any of the similar users are actually duplicates and should be removed.
