Numbering Schemes

Multiple numbering schemes can be attached to different types of Inspection Management records. Default numbering schemes are provided with the application, however, you can create your own or modify the existing default schemes' formats. SmartSolve numbering scheme objects use .NET formats. There are 14 default numbering schemes supplied with the system:

Numbering Scheme Code	Numbering Scheme Name	Numbering Scheme Format
SS_CHARACTERISTIC_NumberingScheme	Characteristic Numbering Scheme	Characteristic - {0:00000}
SS_INSPECTION_NumberingScheme	Inspection Numbering Scheme	INS-#SSField[INSP_TYPE]#-{0:00000}
SS_INSPM_SETUP_NumberingScheme	Inspection Management Setup Numbering Scheme	INSPM-{0}
SS_IQCP_NumberingScheme	IQCP Numbering Scheme	INS-{0:00000}-IQCP
SS_PART_MASTER_SPEC_NumberingScheme	Part Master Spec Numbering Scheme	#SSField[PRODUCT_CODE]#-{0}
SS_RATING_SCHEDULE_NumberingScheme	Rating Schedule Numbering Scheme	RATING-SCH-{0}

Important Information about Numbering Schemes

Numberings can have both a prefix and a suffix if needed.
Numbers can be padded using the following formula {0,1:D4} – last number (4) represents # of digits, such as INSPM – 0001.
It helps to start with the next number first, such as1 – INSPM, because all records are listed alphanumerically by record number and this provides quick querying.
SmartSolve records do not need date values because you can now search for records by dates; however, if needed this can be configured.
SmartSolve records do not need business unit identifiers because the system allows you to search and sort for records by business unit; however, if needed this can be configured.
Most customers number their records using a next number with a suffix identifying the type of record, such as INSPM.
A numbering scheme can show an actual example server date.

The following rights must be assigned to a user for that user to manage or view numbering schemes:

Rights	Description
