Document Numbering

The Document Numbering feature allows you assign a unique number to each document or list item. The structure of the document number is based upon the schema that you configure in the environment. It can consist of a prefix, unique numeric value and a suffix. The prefix and suffix are not required, but add to the clarity and meaning of the document number.

When the Document Numbering feature is enabled in an environment, a metadata column named Document Number is added to that environment. When an item is assigned a document number, the value is placed in the Document Number column for that item.
