{TYPE}

Type

{SEQ}

Sequence Number – Simple (5 digits, based on Facility)

{SEQ:x:}

Sequence Number – Complex.

‘x’ is the number of digits (1 – 9).

Any of the codes above can be used, with curly braces instead of square brackets, to generate the sequence key.

“{SEQ:4:[LOC]-[yyyy]/[MM]/[dd]}” (key based on Location, year, month, and date)

Pattern Examples:

Code: “CAPA-{FAC}-{LOC}/{yyyy}-{SEQ}”

Result: “CAPA-PHL-EAG/2010-00123”

Code: “TEST-{FAC}-{MMM}/{yyyy}-{SEQ:3:[LOC]-[yyyy]/[MM]}”

Result: “TEST-PHI-Jun/2010-123”

For sequential numbering per form packet identifier, include the unique identifier after the sequential number. For example:

Mtg_{SEQ:5:MTG_} or NF-{SEQ:6:NF-}

[YY]

To reset the packet Sequential number, place the code that determines when the reset should occur within closed brackets.

For example: To reset the Sequential number back to 001 when the Year (i.e., YY) changes, you would enter the YY code at end of the packet ID pattern:

CAPA-{YY}-{SEQ:3:CAPA-[YY]}
