Setting description


Form

This option allows you to control the automatic generation of numbers when creating versions.

If the option is enabled, the number of a new version is created automatically in accordance with the specified parameters.

If the option is disabled, the following happens:

In the Version tree, when a dependent version is created, the number of the source version is assigned to it, while when an independent version is created, there is no number.

The unique version number must be set manually.

New versions are not created in the Version management dialog box.


Continuous numbering

The option allows you to specify the order in which the version numbers are generated.

With this option enabled, for each new version, both dependent and independent, a number is generated following the highest version number available in the document.

If this option is disabled, the number of the created fulfillment is formed taking into account the nesting level of this fulfillment and the independent fulfillment it is subordinated to.

For example, the initial version is the version of ABC-123.45-03, where ABC-123.45 — basic designation, and 03 — version number. This number is the largest.

If the option is enabled, the new version (dependent or independent) is numbered 04. The designation of the version is as follows ABC-123.45-04.

If the option is disabled, a new dependent version is created with the number 03-01. Its designation has the form ABC-123.45-03-01. A new independent version is created with the number 04. Designation of this version — ABC-123.45-04.

The option allows you to control the addition of zeros before the number included in the number. If this option is enabled, zeros are added, if disabled — not. The number of added zeros depends on the digit capacity of the number.

Form
