Hi Mike
I have a question for you. Is there an ability in GEMS to assign an
alpha-numeric number to the default precinct category? If there is not an
ability to assign an alpha-numeric number, is there a possibility of
revising GEMS to allow that?
The reason I am asking is.....for instance, In Ottawa I deal with Advance
Polls (10 days before voting day) and also Polls on Voting Day. When I
number for my polls in GEMS, I prefer to have the ID number a number that I
can readily identify as being in a specific ward and poll without having to
look at a report. So, I would number as follows:
1001 = Ward 1, Poll 1
1003 = Ward 1, Poll 3
5002 = Ward 5, Poll 2
14005 = Ward 14, Poll 5.....and so on.....
The reason I am asking about alpha-numeric is that I am also dealing with a
unique situation with Advance Polls where they are not the "usual situation"
of listing them as a cumulative reportunit....they must be listed as a
precinct (Greg Forsythe knows all about our unique situation)....so if I
have an Advance Poll, I would also like to be able to see it as a "unique"
ID that is readily identifiable, such as
Advance Poll number 3 in Ward 2 could be ID'd as follows......
A2003
Advance Poll number 10 in Ward 15 could be....
A10015
