The laptop identifier is used to figure out which directory to send to on Regional Server.

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.

Implementation

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


Will need to combine this with the content of Laptop location.

  • SMW


  • Cargo


  • Categories

Done

Entry "Laptop_Identifier" added to Settings / A_Info table

  • S6 - old STB_MedB - vacant so different staff cover
  • S5 - old STB_MedA - p:Pamela Piche

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

What would need to change?

see Update_of_D_ID_to_include_a_laptop_identifier#Implementation

Legacy

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.
