What happens if I select Automatic as the project numbering method?

If you select Automatic, the application assigns numbers to projects. You enter the first project number, and the application uses subsequent numbers during project creation. The same number sequence is applied to all the projects across project units with Automatic method selected.

Suppose that you want the application to assign project numbers starting from 7 for the project units PU1 and PU2. Do the following:

  • Set the project numbering method for PU1 and PU2 to Automatic.

  • Enter 7 in the Next Number field.

  • Create two projects A and B under PU1 and PU2 respectively.

The project number for A is 7 and the project number for B is 8.
