Laptop identifier
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. |

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.
