Details on the formatting of the CONTSUPREF field.

CONTSUPREF is a character field but the segments are displayed using numbers (padded with zeros). They also pertain to the sorting of the entries in the Org Tree.

A new Organization might have the following value in CONTSUPREF: 10000

If you add a section (Section1) to that organization you might use: 1000000500
10000 is the parent and 00500 is the child. Now every link or section under section1 must have at least this value (1000000500) in CONTSUPREF.

Now let's say you add another section (Section2) under the org (not within the previous section) you ight use: 1000000510

00510 is the child section and it will appear after (not inside of) Section1 because:

  1. It shares the same parent (10000)
  2. Iit's value is greater than Section1 (00510 > 00500).

Every link or section appearing under Section2 will have at least this value in CONTSUPREF.

Now lets say that you want to add a Section (Section2a) inside of Section2. You might use: 100000051000500

Again the same rules apply. We can see how the parent number is here (1000000510) and the child number is appended (00500).

Organizations will start the initial parent number and only sections can add to it. Links do not add a child value they use the section's value+space+Contact name. This provides a sorting mechanism for Links within a section. Adding 'Joe Bloggs' to Section2 might yield: 1000000510 Joe Bloggs

Note that if the contact name gets truncated due to insufficient field length, it will not hurt the data

You can have a maximum of 5 sections within an Organization.
