a. Auto-Numbering
1) An auto-number is automatically assigned as the Sample ID if:
a) You are using bar-code labels and the label is missing or cannot be read.
b) A Sample ID is not entered or received (from the host) for a specimen.
Note: That means that if you use Cass./Position as positive ID, the tubes
are not bar-coded, and you do not create a Worklist (a list of orders on
which you can assign Sample IDs), all samples are assigned an AUTO_SID.
2) An auto-numbered Sample ID is preceded by AUTO_SID.
3) The AUTO_SID automatically increments by one from the previously assigned
number.
