The PDI template file can generate client URNs. It can be downloaded from
here.About the functionality:
- Opening the client table and pressing Ctrl-U will populate the cln_URN_base field with the correctly calculated base URN.
- This value requires the exp_client table fields cln_first_name, cln_last_name, cln_dob, and cln_gender to be populated first.
- Cln_gender must be populated with the gender codes that CAREWare uses:
- 1 - Male
- 2 - Female
- 3 - Transgender Unk
- 4 - Transgender MtF
- 5 - Transgender FtM
- 6 - Refused to Report
- 9 - Unknown
- This function does not populate the URN suffix, which is used at the 12th character in the full URN.
- The cln_URN_base field is only designed to assist users in identifying clients and is not used by CAREWare while importing clients with the PDI process. A client's URN will always be calculated during the PDI import process.
