I am curious to know how many of you have altered the accession # syntax
for your database records.

 

For example, if an object is marked with a 2 digit year #, does the
database entry for the object use a 4 digit year#?

Are leading zeros used in the transaction and item # parts of the
accession # on the database entry even though leading zeros are not
marked on the object?

 

If accession # syntax was altered for the database entry why was this
done?

 

Thank you,
