SORMAS 1.93

⚠️ Known Issues

Lab messages coming from DEMIS can currently not be downloaded: #12871.

Server Property Changes

• Added new property duplicatechecks.nationalhealthidoverridescriteria: If enabled, the national health ID is used to distinctly identify duplicate persons; if an existing person in the system has the same national health ID as a newly created person, it is always identified as a potential duplicate, irrespective of any other fields such as name or birth date.

Changelog

SORMAS 1.91

Feature Configuration Changes
