Hi
Refer the below link for Creating Multiple Documents all at once:
After creating the documents, auto numbering will be provided for each document.
Example:
Document name Auto number
Test_1 001
Test_2 002
Test_3 003
Test_4 004
Test_5 005
Do any one know the logic behind the auto numbering?
Because I am facing the following problem:
I have a bunch of documents with file name as auto number format.
Some times my file name and auto number are matched like case 1.
Case 1:
Document name Auto number
Test_1 001
Test_2 002
Test_3 003
Test_4 004
Test_5 005
Some times my file name and auto number are mismatched like case 2.
Case 2:
Document name Auto number
Test_1 001
Test_2 003
Test_3 005
Test_4 002
Test_5 004
I need my file name (auto number format) and the windchill generated auto number should be matched.
Actual case:
Name QPIR-001121 to QPIR001131 are matched with auto number.
Name QPIR-001132 to QPIR-001140 are mismatched with auto number.
All documents are uploaded in single shot.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
I don't know exactly the logic how the documents are sorted during mass creation now.
I can just guess that it can be by last modification in a wizard or last modification of filename on a local disc and so on.
I can see that in your case it is not definitely sorted by name as you could think.
btw do you use Wizard to mass creation of documents or do you use Upload Documents from Compressed files?
It can have different behavior.
Maybe if you need to keep same number and name, you could define OIR rule that a name equals number.
There could be another case. Another user created some documents that time and stole the number :D.

Hi
We have tested the case as below.
File name last modified time auto number
Bulk upload test 1 8.24 GND-001156
Bulk upload test 2 8.25 GND-001157
Bulk upload test 3 8.25 GND-001158
Bulk upload test 4 8.27 GND-001159
Bulk upload test 5 8.26 GND-001160
Any idea?
Thank you.
Hi
How it is ok.
Look at Bulk upload test 4 and Bulk upload test 5. The last modified date of Bulk upload test 4 is later than Bulk upload test 5. But still the auto number is matched with file name.
Another example;
Thank you.
I meant that autonumbers match the file names. I didn't see the modification time.
So good test. Now you know it is not dependent on the value of modification time.
So it could be dependent on a different thing
