Serial numbers have to be unique for a collection location, so if a ward like HSC_H4H is collected on by multiple collectors then a serial number must never be re-used. This is currently achieved by assigning blocks of numbers for each 100 possible serial numbers to a given collector (again, see [[Serial number]] for details]]).

A serial number must be entered before any other data since access uses it to set the relationships for the data. To accomplish that, function new_pat_id() opens a window requesting the serial number pops up when "add new patient" is clicked on the patient list.
