Specifies columns which either must be double keyed or which do not need to be double keyed.
DescriptionDouble keying of registrations is an aid to keying accuracy. In some case a Vital Records Office may require a large number of fields to be double keyed (only a small number can be skipped); in others only a small number of fields needs to be double keyed (a large number of fields can be skipped).
With the Double Key Skip Columns Registry entry it is possible to specify which columns must be double keyed or which may be skipped (i.e. they do not need to be double keyed).
Note: See also Double Key In Order Registry entry.
