Managing Sequence Intervals and Last Number Used

Use the Sequence Interval portlets to either review the Interval Type and refer to the last number used in the sequence. Or, if absolutely necessary, to change the value of the next number used for this Sequence Definition.

Use the Sequence Interval portlets to either review the Interval Type and the last number used in the sequence. Or, if absolutely necessary, to change the value of the next number used for this Sequence Definition.

The Last Sequence Number field displays the last number used in the Sequence Interval. For example, if 15 is the value in the Last Sequence Number field for a Batch Invoice and the Increment is 1, and you enter 99 in the Last Sequence Number field, this forces the next Batch Invoice number to start with 100.

To review or change the Last Sequence Number value

  1. Identify the item that you either need to review or change its last number used.

  2. Highlight the Sequence Type in the navigation tree. For example, Agency > Batch Invoice, or Asset ID > Default.

    The Masks and Sequence Intervals options display in the tree.

  3. Expand the Sequence Intervals option.

    The list of Sequence Intervals displays.

  4. Select the Sequence Interval name you want to review or change in the Sequence Interval list portlet on the right.

  5. Determine both the Increment By value for the item's Sequence Definition and what new number you want to apply to the numbering of the Sequence Interval. The Last Sequence Number field displays the last number used or applied to the item (from step 1) in Civic Platform.

  6. Subtract from or add to the value, depending upon your numbering requirements, and enter it into the Last Sequence Number field.

  7. Click Submit to update the interval numbering.
