Primary Keys

The following is an explanation of how to define a primary key in the C-level. Once defined, the fields will appear in all profiles under the “identity” tab. These values are not automatically populated or updated after a registration occurs in an M-level. They must be connected by a staff member of Interware Systems. If you would like us to do this, please contact us.
