SUPPORT Q&A - problem with automatic number of parts/documents

michelangelo - Saturday, November 6, 2010 1:15 PM:

Hello,

I'm trying to associate an automatic number (item_number) when I create a new documents or parts.

I followed this procedure, but it show an error.

The procedure is:

1.  TOC => Administration => Item types => Part => Edit;

2. Properties Tab => Find and select "Item number";

3. Data Type Column => Select "Sequence" from menu

4. Data Source Column => Select the Sequence from list.

5. Save, Unlock and Exit

 

But when I create a new part and save it, appear an error message:

"the part number field is required. You must provide a value for this field before saving".

 

Similar problem when I create a new document.

 

 Can you tell me where am I wrong?

 

 

Thank you

You have selected the "Required" check box for this property.

This means that Innovator will be looking for a value for this before it gets passed to the server.

Leave the "Required" unchecked and try it again.

Cheers,

Brian.
