This ID Number represents the ID Number of the third party. An ID Number can be up to nine digits in length (e.g., 123456789) and is associated with the name of a person, organization, or location. The ID Number is used throughout the program to locate that entity.
On the Name Search window, you can create and assign your own ID Number to a new name entity. When you create a new ID Number, you will receive the following message, "This is not a valid ID Number. Do you wish to add a new ID Number and Name?" Choose Yes and you can continue entering information. Press Save to accept the information and new ID Number, or the system will automatically generate the next available ID Number when you enter a new name and press Save. This ID Number can be attached to the student in Registration on the Student tab of the Student Information Window or in Accounts Receivable in the Student Information Impacting Charges window.
When you place the cursor in any ID Number column and right-click, you will be offered the Advanced Search and Previous Name options. If the Advanced Search option is selected, the Name Search window appears. If the Previous Name option is selected, the last used ID Number from the registry will be retrieved and displayed in the ID Number column along with any other information associated with the ID Number.
