Duplicate Activity Found Pop-up


When entering a new activity in UC OATS, you may see a Duplicate Activity Found pop-up. This pop-up appears to help prevent duplicate activity entries and ensure accurate reporting.

UC OATS checks the following criteria when you enter a new activity:

  • Organization Name
  • Activity Name
  • Activity Type(s)/ Role(s)

If all three criteria exactly match an existing activity, the system will display the pop-up. You can choose to continue creating the new activity or cancel and report effort under the existing activity, as appropriate.

Best Practice: It is best practice to enter one activity per organization unless the activity type(s)/Role(s) differ. This will help save you time and reduce confusion for reviewers.
