Laptop identifier
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 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
- if no line starts with the word Laptop_Identifier
- click "OK" to exit out of the Settings window
- add a RED DOT sticker (use left-overs from Overstay) to the top right corner of the laptop and put the laptop identifier on there for easy reference.
Implementation
It would be best if this change was done before Update of D ID to include a laptop identifier
In CCMDB.accdb, the function Laptop_Identifier() will return this.
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
Implementatiion
