Users with "Manage Repository" permissions will see a new menu item in the Repository settings menu (click the gear icon to the right of the selected repository). Use the "Department Codes" setting to add and remove codes for your Repository.
Department codes will appear in a dropdown for the second part of the Accession identifier.
The first and third sections of the identifier will be system-generated upon saving the record. The fourth section will be removed.
If you've imported existing records into the system, you may need to manually set the sequence numbers for your records so that the auto-generated IDs don't clash with existing ones.
Suppose you have a department code called 'ycal'. You can insert a new sequence starting from 100 for 2015 with some SQL:
insert into sequence (sequence_name, value) values ('yale_accession_2015_ycal', 100);
Or, if that sequence already exists, update it:
update sequence set value = 100 where sequence_name = 'yale_accession_2015_ycal';
