The laptop identifier used to be 3 letters for the site plus 2-4 letters for the unit where a laptop initially collected. This was a problem because the ward locations changed over time and wasn't necessarily updated because any change needs to deal with a lot of lose ends. Also, many laptops collect more than one location so listing a single one for them was confusing.

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
