Data can be filtered for export in several ways: by Accession Number Range, by
Slide ID Filter, by Exporting Only Slides Not Already Exported or any combina-
tion of these methods.
A Note on Slide IDs
Refer to slide labeling types and restrictions on page 3.7.
Depending on how your laboratory generates accession numbers (how long
they are, and the symbology format used - OCR, 1-D, 2-D), the accession num-
ber is often preceded or followed by fixed characters (for example a date, or a
Lab ID code) or by zeros.
These fixed and sequential numbers can be used for filtering the database for
exporting data.
OCR format only supports numeric characters, but the barcodes support alpha-
numeric as well as special characters.
