- This allows the Admin to assign locker numbers which may have an Alphanumeric display on the physical locker and simplify what the User sees. ( as the system can only allow numeric numbering of the lockers and also does not allow numbers to be repeated, this functionality was added to facilitate the need to use numbers that might be the same from building to building)
- The way it works is as follows: Lockers that have numbers on them and are not able to be renumbered cost effectively are give a prefix in the numbering schema when being set up in the system.
Example: Building "A" has lockers 2000 to 2049 Totaling 50 Lockers, Building "B" has lockers 2000 to 2049 totaling 50. (this could happen floor to floor too)- When Building "A" is set up its Prefix will be 100=BA, and Building "B" will be 200=BB. The numbering Schema will be set in "Allocate" by adding the prefix to the actual locker number
- The User when going to to order a locker will be displayed the Locker as "BA2000" instead of "1002000" creating a less confusing definition of the locker for the lockerUser
- The Admin benefits by being able to attach a building designator to the locker regardless if they have repeating locker numbers or not, but does want to match Building ID's to locker selections
All lockers in building "B" have a "B" before the locker number
