I believe its possible to have separate sequences assigned to subclasses. Is this correct? If so, I'm having troubles finding where to define that...

Hi Charlatat,
I don't think there is a "configuration" that you can set to allow this.
I assume you want a sequence for the "item_number" for say a Part.
You can set the Item_number property as "string" and "not required". Then create a server event to be fired onBeforeAdd.
Read the classification "this.getProperty("classification","");"
and then call "getNextSequence("sequence name") from the innovator item and assign it to "item_number" before returning from the method.
Hope this helps,
Brian.

Brian's right, this is not "out-of-the box" functionality, but is very easy to do with a small OnBeforeAdd method. I have C# code that does just what he described, here it is.
Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();
string thisClassification = this.getProperty("classification");
if (thisClassification == "Foo")
{
string newNumber = inn.getNextSequence("PartFoo");
this.setProperty("item_number", newNumber);
}
return this;
?
