Define Classes for your Objects

To benefit from the Automatic Numbering feature, Objects must have a value in the "Class" property.

To add this value, follow the steps below:

  1. Access the Properties page, in the Administration tab,

  2. Select your Object and press Classe

  3. Add your prefered Value

(Example)

💡The Classe property can be renamed to your liking.

Create a new Numbering rule

All values defined above are subject to a Numerotation rule. To create one, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Numbering page, in the Administration tab,

  2. Select your Object and press New Rule

  3. Follow the steps to define your Rule:

    1. Give it a name

    2. Select the class(es) concerned

    3. Create a custom Identification with your selection of text, separator and counter

(Example)

💡 Good to know !

  • The counter is automatically incremented and uses the first number available in the database

  • Object ID already loaded on Aletiq remain unchanged after a rule modification

  • If multiple rules apply to the same object, the ID will be generated according to the first in the list


🎯 In short, the Automatic Identifier :

  • Create custom and unique ID,

  • Improve your data organization
