# Reset References

This is typically done by companies who are using two or more separate ASM Systems with databases which they may want to combine at a later date. In such cases, Site A could use reference numbers 0 – 5000 and Site B could use reference numbers 5001 - 10000, etc. This greatly facilitates the data conversion when the databases are merged.
