The laptop identifier is used to

* set out which directoriey/[[File Locations]] on the [[Regional Server]] is used for a laptop's [[News and Backup]]

* make a unique [[D_ID]]

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

~~{{Discuss | just~~ a ~~placeholder~~ for ~~now, for link from [[Update of D~~ ID ~~to include~~ a laptop ~~identifier]] }}~~

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.

~~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~~]]

== Laptop Identifier Assignment ==

Also see [[Site and Location table]] and the tables linked from there. We need to be careful so that info doesn't become inconsistent. Not building structure for it on the wiki since hopefully this will go away with [[PatientFollow Project]].

* open [[CCMDB.accdb]]

* click the [[Settings (CCMBD.mdb)|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
