How do I implement "Secondary IDs"?

To implement "Secondary IDs" in your Accompa system:

• Login using an account that has 'Administrator' privileges.
• Click Settings on the top-right, and select Customize Accompa from the menu.
• In the resulting page, click Define secondary IDs link - this link will be present under the Customize Fields section.
  • If this link is not present, it means the "Secondary IDs" feature has not been enabled on your Accompa system. Please contact Accompa and request this to be enabled.
• You will now see the "Define Secondary IDs" page. In this page:
  • Step-1: Select the desired Controlling Field. The value selected in this field of a requirement will decide the secondary ID that's assigned to that requirement.
  • Step-2: Then define the prefixes you prefer for each value of the "Controlling field".
    • You may leave prefixes blank for some picklist field values - if you do so, secondary IDs will not be assigned to those requirements which contain corresponding picklist field values.
  • Step-3: Select "Enable" radiobutton once you're ready to turn on the secondary IDs feature for your Accompa system.
  • Click the "Save" button to complete the process.
