Generate IDs from

For selecting a method for generating survey IDs.

Survey IDs may be generated from:

StartNodeRef, Direction, Date and Time - CCTV Survey IDs are generated from the StartNodeRef, Direction, Date and Time fields.
StartNodeRef, Direction and an index if needed for uniqueness - CCTV Survey IDs are generated from the StartNodeRef and Direction fields. An index is appended to duplicate IDs to preserve uniqueness.
US node ID, Direction, Date and Time - CCTV Survey IDs are generated from the Node ref at the upstream end of the survey and the Direction, Date and Time fields.
US node ID, Direction and an index if required for uniqueness - CCTV Survey IDs are generated from the Node ref at the upstream end of the survey and the Direction field. An index is appended to duplicate IDs to preserve uniqueness.
Client or any of the ClientDefined fields - CCTV Survey IDs are generated from the client field selected.

Note: If the generated ID is longer than 40 characters, the ID will be truncated. An index number will be added to the end of the ID to preserve uniqueness where appropriate.

Duplicate IDs

Options for importing CCTV Surveys with duplicate IDs.

Do not import duplicate survey	Surveys with duplicate IDs will not be imported. These surveys will be reported in the import log.
Update existing survey	Surveys with duplicate IDs will be updated with the current survey data.
Overwrite existing survey	Surveys with duplicate IDs will overwrite existing surveys.

This section will be disabled when using the StartNodeRef, Direction and an index if needed for uniqueness or the US Node ID, Direction and an index if required for uniqueness ID generation options; surveys with duplicate IDs will be imported with a different suffix. Existing surveys will not be changed.
