Reference ID

The Reference ID is an alphanumeric field that can contain almost any description as long as it is unique; that is, no other Agency has the same Reference ID. The Reference ID is automatically generated when an agency record is created. It is simply a number assigned to the agency, and you can change it to anything you like as long as it remains a unique number. Alphanumeric characters are allowed. The Reference ID can be used as a grouping option in some report selection choices. If you use the Reference IDs in this fashion, you may want to change them to reflect the grouping method you use.
