I would like my shelf’s, racks and boxes to all start with “1”. Racks and boxes no issues but shelfs are starting at a system number.
Code currently using for shelf’s , racks and boxes.
%PCONT_NAME%_S%PCONT_UID%
Hi @rdeshano,
This can happen if parent container, ‘CTIU_FREEZER_2’ in this case, had child containers in the past which are deleted now.
In such a case, OpenSpecimen will fetch the next consecutive number, as the sequence, for child containers with respect to the parent still existing in the database.
To work around this:
#1 Delete the shelves
#2 Rename the parent to something else like ‘CTIU_FREEZER2’.
Note: I removed the ‘_’ before ‘2’ just to rename the parent as slightly different.
#3 Recreate the shelves with hierarchy and the auto numbering should start from 1.
Thanks,
Swapnil I.
