Create view frames match line labeling

[bmorseE5TH6]

Hello.  I'm playing with the output tab and I'm having an issue with match line labels.  I might be missing something but when I create view frames I can control the names of the view frames and match lines.  I cannot control the numbers.  When I go to my label style to set up the format of how I'd like my label to read my only options are for the match line name, match line number, previous sheet number and next sheet number.

If I could add the previous or next sheet name then the problem would be solved, but that doesn't seem to be an option.  Also, if there is a way to create some formula where I could subtract or add to the match line name, since I can control that, then that would work too.

For example I want my sheet numbers to read P3801.  So the previous sheet would be P3800 and next would be P3802.  I could set my match lines up to be named 3800, 3801, etc... but in my Text Component Editor I'd need it to read P<[Match Line Name(CP)]> where I would add or subtract 1 to this.

I just started working with the output tab so any help would be great.

Thank you

Hi @bmorseE5TH6, yeah, unfortunately, your options there are a little limited, but you can still get what you need...

You can control the name of your sheet when you create them after creating the view frames 

Which will create the layout tabs with the desired names

Unfortunately, once the sheets are created they will get number 1, 2, 3, so you will need to renumber/rename them manually

After that is done, you can modify the match line label to something like this

and that will display the information the way you want it

Thank you.  That is what I had done, but if I'd had a lot of sheets instead of the 10 I had this go around then that could become a pain.  I was hoping to find a way to avoid doing this step, but I'm guessing there isn't a way around it.
