Question about suppressions

So we're starting to delve more into doing extractions and I just had a question from development about suppressing records with a deceased status. They were concerned that if one person on the account had the deceased status that it would completely suppress that account even though one person on it is still alive.  I've done some testing and discovered that it will exclude them, but perhaps I'm just not building the suppression segment correctly.  Any advice?

Thanks!

  • I think you just want to exclude if the entire record is inactive for reason = deceased and this would only be true if both were deceased.

     

    For just name1 or name2 – we have the practice of the deceased name being moved to Name2 and the living constituent is in Name1.    

     

     Each name has status and your list/extraction can check that both are deceased before excluding/suppressing.
