Local Census

This feature is designed for installations with limited resources that cannot configure and customize their census connection remotely, so we offer them a solution to use a local census instead. For this purpose, administrators are provided with a way to manage the local census database through the administration panel under Settings > Local census.

Managing the local census

Administrators can manage this census in two different ways:

  • Manually: adding one citizen at a time through a form.

  • Automatically: through an importation process.

Manually

Administrators can create a record by clicking the Create new local census record button, which appears in the top right corner of the page. This will take us to a new page where we can fill in the following form and create the new record:

Automatically

Administrators can import multiple records through a CSV file by clicking the Import CSV button, which appears in the top right corner of the page. This will take us to a new page where we can attach a CSV file to create the new records:

Features

  • Search by document number: Since the local census could contain a lot of records, we have added a search feature to allow administrators to find existing records by document number.

  • Avoid the introduction of duplicated records: A model validation has been added that does not allow adding records that share the same number and type of document.
