Reference Numbers
Users may supply their own (Manual) reference numbers, or they may direct the program to generate (Automatic) reference numbers, optionally with a prefix or suffix. To be useful as Reference Numbers, these numbers should be constant and unique.
 

  1. Duplicates: Automatic Reference Numbering may produce numbers duplicating manually entered numbers.
  2. Duplicates: There is no warning given if a manually entered reference number would duplicate another manual or automatic number.
  3. Merge: When two individuals are merged, the user has no control over the choice of which Automatic Reference Number will survive. Ony if one or both have Manual Reference numbers is the user involved in the choice.
