Short Answer
BDOI® keeps only one donation record for each donation date during the import process. If multiple donation records have the same donation date, the additional records for that date are skipped.
Detailed Explanation
When you import your previous donation history, BDOI® checks the Donation Date of each record.
If more than one record in the import file has the same donation date, BDOI® keeps only one donation record for that date and skips the other records with the same date.
Therefore, before importing your history, review your file and make sure that you do not have multiple entries for the same donation date unless they are intentionally being treated as the same donation record.
For example:
| Donation Date |
Donation Type |
Count |
Import Result |
| 15/01/2024 |
Blood |
1 |
✅ Kept |
| 15/01/2024 |
Blood |
1 |
⏭️ Skipped |
| 20/03/2024 |
Platelets |
1 |
✅ Kept |
The system uses the donation date to identify duplicate entries. This helps prevent the same historical donation from being counted more than once.
Key Points
- BDOI® keeps one donation record per date.
- Additional records with the same donation date are skipped.
- Check your import file for repeated donation dates before uploading.
- A skipped duplicate does not mean the donation itself did not happen.
- Keep your original records if you need to preserve additional historical information.
❤️ Motivation
Your donation history should reflect real donations, not duplicate entries. Keep your records accurate so every genuine lifesaving contribution is counted properly. ❤️
