Match Lists module

The Match Lists module holds the results of the match lists automatic process that runs overnight and finds records that may be linked to each other, e.g. deaths to births. The Match List database allows Administration staff to check records before they are linked.

A Match Lists record includes:

  • Details of potential links between records

Typical Match Lists module tabs and their purpose

Note: As every institution is able to customise Vitalware to suit its requirements, there are many different versions of Vitalware. Even where institutions have the same modules, the tabs included in each instance of the module may be different; and even where institutions have tabs with the same name, the fields on those tabs may be different. For that reason this section only provides a general description of modules, tabs and fields.

Note: Use the Field Level Help to find a description of a field as it is used in your organisation. A field description can be added to every field, describing its specific use by your institution.
