Avoiding duplication of contributors
It is really important to avoid entering duplicates of existing contributor details. RCS will compare the data you enter with other contributors on the system and warn you if it thinks you might be entering a duplicate.
If the contributor's name, address, postcode, phone number, email, or any other data that is usually unique already exists then you will get a warning message like this:
Please DO NOT just ignore this!
Double check that the contributor isn't already on the system. Only if you are certain that you are entering a different contributor press Continue, but please also send an email to the RCS Administrator so that it can be cleared off the possible duplicates list.
