Auto Number

For some document types, it's helpful to automatically generate a new number when creating a new document. For example, when we create a new Work Order (WO), it will have the number WO#0000021. 

Adding a new a Auto Number

1. Click Administration → Auto Number, then click Add New
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Fill out the applicable data fields. Then click Save.
   
   
   
   Applies To*: select the entity to apply the auto number rule to.
   Format String*: the string that support the following special tokens
      + e:entityproperty
      + d:datetimeformat
      + n:numberformat
   For example, we specify the auto number format for WO as following: WO#e:Location.Name#d:MMyyyy#n:000000. Then we will have the generated number:
   WO#CH Building#042018#000009 as an example.
