== Transitioning ==
== Related articles ==
If a location is no longer available on a laptop records with that location can't be set to "complete". So, if we transition from one location to a new one, we need to get collectors to change the locations for all existing records to the new one, and change the number to using the new number series.

Another option might be to keep old location available, at risk of manual mistakes and continuing to use the old location, and of location-numberPool mix-ups. Either way, '''needs to be planned'''.
