assign a sequence number to inbound h docs

[sacchipietro]

hi all,

there is a way to assign for each documents in a space an unique sequence number , based on rules definied by other elements (es category )?

thx

The JavaScipt API combined with rules would be a great way to do this. You could store the "last" sequence number as a property on the folder itself, then use the JavaScript API to get/set that value on incoming docs via a rule.

Hope this helps,

Just a reminder about the implications of doing this should you ever enable peer server-to-server replication - you could easily create conflicts as different servers increment to the same, next serial number and then try to sync.

You may want a server-serial# sequence format.
