Question

Student XXXXX exists in Alma but could not be find by primary identifier in Analytics. When using the filter ''is equal to/is in' on this field we get an empty report.

Answer

The primary identifier of this user has 2 additional spaces after the last digit in the database, that are automatically deleted when filtering in Analytics.
Therefor the use of the 'is equal to/is in' filter can't retrieve it. In this case the use of the 'contains all' filter will solve the problem and retrieves the user.
