[Archon-L] Archon - Collection Classifications

[Wood, Thomas J]

We have similar problems here, where we use classification identifiers
that are also a combination of letters and numerals. We haven't figured
out a really satisfactory work-around, yet.

I am testing the Archon system for possible installation. I am having
trouble/confusion with the Collection Classification identifiers.
At our repostitory we use two digit record group numbers and three digit
sub-group numbers. In this system all of the record group numbers are
unique, but the sub-group numbers repeat under each record group number.
For example, we use CS:10 for  the Chancellor's Offices and CS:10/011
for University Relations specifically. We use CS:11 for the Vice
Chancellor of Academic Affairs, but use 011 again in the identifier
CS:11/011 for Program Reviews done under the VCAA. Archon doesn't seem
to allow 011 to be used for two different sub-groups. Is there any way
around this?
