      Adding an Auto-Incrementing Number to a Form

      How to add an auto-incrementing number to a form

      Auto-incrementing numbers are user-defined document numbers that allow for better document tracking. These numbers increment when a form is submitted (leave the auto-incremented number field blank), when a form is dispatched, or manually by clicking the Get a Number icon. You can add as many auto-incrementing numbers as you want on a form; the only limitation is how many auto-incrementing number fields you have set up.
      1. From the Formatting menu in the Form Designer, click Auto-Incrementing Number.
      2. An auto-incrementing number is added to the form. Click Edit to open the Edit Auto-Incrementing Number window.
      3. Select the auto-incrementing number you want to add to the form. You cannot save a form that doesn’t have an auto-incremented number selected.
      4. In the Tooltip field, enter the tip/hint you may want to include for the auto-incrementing number.
      5. Click the Styles tab to specify the style settings for the auto-incrementing number. See Using the Styles Tab for more information.
      6. Click OK to save your entries. Click Cancel to close the Edit Auto-Incrementing Number window without saving changes.
