== Renumbering Projects ==
: If all you are doing is changing the format of the Project ID then this will reflect immediately upon saving and refreshing the page. That being said, if you ever find yourself needing to completely re-number projects here is where you would go to do that:
:: Staff -> Fair Setup -> General Information -> Advanced Tools -> Renumber Projects
