Dual Data Entry Procedure

Dual data entry is envisioned as an important data quality and integrity tool for both iHRIS Manage and iHRIS Qualify. Dual data entry is most useful when multiple people are entering data from a backlog of paper records or transcribing data from paper forms. The purpose of dual data entry is to ensure that each record (specifically, object) is entered twice, preferably by two different data entry persons. The two entries are compared to one another, and the system flags any discrepancies for review and correction. This process reduces the likelihood of bad or incorrect data being introduced into the system. Dual data entry should be an optional function that can easily be turned on or off via a configuration screen by the System Administrator. This will actually disable the links to verify the data. If turned on, then all objects will be marked "unverified" and require dual data entry.
