Adding items as a Group

When adding items to a Group, Sanction II requires that you select a naming convention for the group of files. The naming convention is based on three elements:

1. The Group Name - Create a new group or add to an existing one

2. The Naming Prefix - the non-unique portion of the ID

3. The number of digits (format) to be displayed for each - the unique portion of the ID name.

For example, to add 10 ".tif" files as a Group called "Police Report" you might choose the following

Group = "Police Report"

Prefix ="POLREP"

Format=00

This will create a Documents Group in the Tree View called Police Report with 10 pages. The pages will be named POLREP01-POLREP10.

Note - the number format allows you pad "0's" in your item's name. By selecting "00" as the format, items 1-9 have a preceding "0". If you choose a single "0" as your number format, all item IDs will append the incremented number only to the Prefix. Note the following samples:

Format "0" - POLREP1-POLREP10

Format "00" - POLREP01-POLREP10

Format "000" - POLREP001-POLREP010

Number ID formats can be very import when trying to maintain Bates Number compatibility.
