The laptop identifier is used to
- set out which directories on the Regional Server is used for a laptop's News and Backup
The identifiers are stored in entry "Laptop_Identifier" in Settings (CCMBD.mdb) / A_Info tableand apply to some File Locations.
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.
Setting the laptop identifier
- open CCMDB.accdb
- click the Settings button
- on the left side, in the "General Settings" panel, find the line that has Laptop_Identifier in the left "field_name" column
- if no line starts with that, make a new line that has exactly Laptop_Identifier (copy and paste would make sure...)
- make sure your laptop identifier (see #Laptop Identifier Assignment) is in the right, "field_data" column
- click "OK" to exit out of the Settings window

Implementation
It would be best if this change was done before Update of D ID to include a laptop identifier
CCMDB.accdb
In CCMDB.accdb, the function LaptopLocation() will return the location of the laptop it is run on.
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
