Auto Field Matching cannot be used in conjunction with Auto Numbering.

What is Automatic Field Matching?

Automatic Field Matching allows

...

RIB CX to match your Document number with preconfigured User Field values in Publication Space during an upload. This will then populate those fields on upload without needing any user interaction to make your Document uploads very efficient and quick.

...

Document Number and Pattern Set Up

The Pattern is usually configured based on how your Document Number is formed.

If

...

a strict numbering format

...

applies to your project, an

...

automatic numbering pattern will be useful in filling out

...

meta data for your documents quickly.

An example Document Number

DEMO-MC-DWG-ELE-0001 [a] Electrical Drawing 0001

...

In this instance.

...

  • DEMO - is the Project Name.

...

  • MC- Is the Code of the Company that is uploading.

...

  • DWG - This defines the type of document this is - DWG is the Code for the option of Drawing Type.

...

  • ELE - This defines the discipline this document belongs to - ELE is the code for the option of Electrical Discipline.

We can now configure an Auto Field Matching pattern that can be used against Document Numbers that are in this format.
