We are in the process of migrating from Stellent/Intradoc to Alfresco.
One of the features of Intradoc is having a simple document Id as a read-only field that will be used by end-users to refer to in business communications (email, other documents etc.).
The DocId has the following format: AA006001, AA006002 etc. Since it's an simple number to communicate and not a cryptic number like for instance a Documentum Document Id starting with 09…….. etc.
I know a unique record identifier is something that is touched upon by record management, but I am only looking for this specific feature.
Then I came across the Action "Increment Counter" as a create rule feature.
What counter is this and can it be read/manipulated from within a JavaScript.
The node-id of documents is quite cryptic, so I can't see how I can convert this to a simple but Unique doc identifier. Haven't found a JavaScript method to retrieve node-id's.
I have to be sure that there is a automatic mechanism that generates a unique number each time content is added (either through a rule or otherwise).
What would be the simplest approach? I want to keep things as default and simple as possible. At the moment there is no need for implementing a Records Management solution.
Kind regards,
Alex
