6. Search for a record

Civil registration systems must be able to store, file, archive and retrieve records. OpenCRVS enables users to search by a number of different criteria, reducing the search scope for a better user experience.

Pre-condition

A record exist in the system with the status 'Notified', ‘Declared, ‘Validated’, ‘Archived’, ‘Registered’

Triggers

• A user scope:search[event=event] can search for all event records

• A user scope:search[event=event my-jurisdiction] can search for event records only in their jurisdiction

Standard flow

1. User enters in search query eg. Tracking ID, Registration No. National ID, Phone number

2. If user has a connection then the system will process the search query

3. Any results are displayed

Post conditions

• User can then choose to assign themselves to the record and complete the required action

• User can choose to view the record audit for the record

• User can choose to view the record (read only)

Variations/Exceptions

If the user does not have a unique identifier such as a tracking ID or registration no. then they can use Advanced search.

Advance search lets you search for a record by:

• Record status eg. Registered or Issued

• Place of registration

• Date of registration

• Using different event parameters configured to be searchable. eg. Child, Mother or Fathers details
