Numbering Scheme - 000.000.000 up to 999.999.999

js10000 — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 20:34:25 GMT

Hi,

How is it possible to define a numbering scheme that allows us to use sequential numbering up to 999.999.999 while using "." every 3 digits for better readability?

We also want to add .XX for Work in Progress and .01 - .99 for revisions

So for example 123.456.789.XX

We cannot get this to work because the auto-generated sequence does not seem to have an option to "interrupt" the numbering every 3 digits.

Thank you very much!

Best regards

No experience, but can't you create 4 seperate fields?

000.111.222.333.44

Yes, but only one field can increment by itself. The other fields would have to be entered manually.

For more intricate solutions you will probably need to set a custom numbering scheme in SQL at the ADMS (see post below and research further into how numbers could be broken down with periods or how multiple fields could act as a single number):
