Rebuild your accession number formats

If you change a format, the sorting, or index order, you need to rebuild the internal stored version of the accession number in each object. Rebuilding accession number formats can take a long time and shouldn't be done unless absolutely necessary.

Steps

  1. Go to the Tools menu > System Maintenance > Accession Number Tool > Accession Number Format Rebuild.

  2. A message will ask if you want to proceed. Click Yes.

  3. A message will ask if you want to rebuild the Accession No Index when the rebuild is complete. Choose an option:

    • Yes, unconditionally

    • Yes, if no errors encountered

    • No

  4. Click OK.
