Sequence numbers

In the default configuration, sequence numbers are used for the following elements:

• Document names in the Plant group per plant and discipline name
• Documents names in the Generic and Project groups per document type
• Routing sheet numbers per user
• Project numbers per folder type name and year
• Briefcase names
• Transmittals and submittals per year

All sequence numbers are stored in the Meridian vault. The sequences are defined on the vault root or folders depending on the sequence type as described in the following table.

The numbers are updated using the VBScript functions GetSeqNum and GetNextSeqNum.

In the vault scripting, sequence numbers are assigned in special places of the code and assigned to the property DocumentSequenceNumber. The typical place to update this property is in the function InitializeNewPlantDocumentWithCalculatedDefaults.

Sequence numbers can be modified using the standard Meridian utility BCSequenceManager described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.
