Setting the laptop identifier

  • open CCMDB.accdb

  • 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

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
