The search NSN screen is used to select or assign an NSN Number for a child from the MoE National Student Identification (NSI) database.
Once a new child is entered into Infocare and the child is a "Current Enrolment" the child will need to be assigned an NSN number.
To search/assign an NSN number to a child, click on the "Search NSN" button on the right hand side of the childs name in the Child update screen.
If the child has previously been enrolled at another childcare service they will likely have an NSN number, when the search NSN button is seleted their name will appear in the list to select. If this child is new to ECE, it is likely they will not have an NSN number and an NSN number will need to be assigned to them.
Search Ranking - If the NSI database search has found multiple children with possible matches to the child, these children will be listed on the screen and a Search Ranking percentage will be allocated to each child to assist in determining which child has the best match to the child being entered.
Choose This Child - As you scroll through the list of children, if you are sure that a particular child matches the child you have entered, click the Choose this Child button to select the child. The NSN for this child will then be populated in the child's record in Infocare.
Add New NSN Record - If none of the children listed match the child you have entered, or if no children are listed, it is likely that this child has not previously attended an ECE service and a new NSN number will need to be assigned for this child. To do this, click the Add New NSN Record button. A new NSN will be allocated to the child and populated with the child's record in Infocare.
Cancel - If you wish to cancel any actions on this screen and return to the previous screen click the Cancel button.
