Used to figure out which directory to send to on [[Regional Server]]. There is a lot of legacy info in there since we have not updated them when locations have changed. We should just use generic ones so this is not an issue, something like HSCa, HSCb etc. When we do, we will need a list of which collector corresponds to which laptop.  
You can find the Laptop Identifier on a sticker on the laptop, or in the top right of the [[Main Form (CCMDB.accdb)]].


It would be best if this change was done before [[Update of D ID to include a laptop identifier]]

The laptop identifier is used to

The identifiers are stored in entry "Laptop_Identifier" in Settings (CCMBD.mdb) / A_Info table.

The naming convention is a letter for the site and a 1 digit number that has no inherent meaning other than to ID a laptop.

You can find the Laptop Identifier on a sticker on the laptop, or in the top right of the Main Form (CCMDB.accdb).

Setting the laptop identifier

Make sure you check Changing a Laptop identifier before you change this to make sure your change won't break anything!

  • open CCMDB.accdb
  • click the Settings button
  • on the left side, in the "General Settings" panel, find the line that has the word Laptop_Identifier in the left "field_name" column
    • if no line starts with the word Laptop_Identifier
      • make a new line and copy-paste the word Laptop_Identifier into the left, field_name column
      • put your laptop identifier (see #Laptop Identifier Assignment) in the right, "field_data" column
  • click "OK" to exit out of the Settings window
  • add a RED DOT sticker (use left-overs from Overstay) to the top right corner of the laptop and put the laptop identifier on there for easy reference.

Implementation

In CCMDB.accdb, the function Laptop_Identifier() will return this.

Background

We are using:

  • single digits numbers for ease of filling TISS (it doesn't accept letters for that field)
  • descending numbers to make it less likely that someone accidentally enters old page number rather than laptop ID
  • single letters to minimize the increase in data
