Assigning predefined numbers to different document groups

[alfiennes]

Please i want to know if it's possible to assigned a predefined number to a document based on a predefined number scheme.

For example i have a group called incoming and another group outgoing. I want incoming documents to have 234XXX numbering scheme while outgoing should have 432XXX scheme.

So if i enter a document as incoming it should automatically be assigned 234101 and while moving through the workflow as soon as it is ready to move to outgoing the number scheme should change to outgoing.


Is that possible in Alfresco?

Thank you

Yes.

1. Create a custom aspect to tag documents with your number.
2. Set up an inbound rules on your inbound and outbound spaces to update the number.
3. Provide a look up mechanism to get the latest increment.

Thank you fro the response.

I understand the first 2 steps but not the 3rd step.

How can i do the 3rd step?


Thank you
