Configuring a Case Identifier

The default case identifier type is automatic (a unique text string that is automatically generated when an instance of the case class is created). You can instead use manual identifier types, which will use values that your application supplies.

Procedure

  1. In the BOM Editor, select the Case Identifier.
  2. Select the General tab of the Properties view.
  3. Set the Case Identifier types as follows:
    • Auto - The value of the case identifier is auto-generated when an instance of the case class is created. If set to Auto, you can also specify:
      • Minimum Digits - The case identifier will be at least this length, padded with leading zeros, as required,
      • Prefix - The case identifier will include this prefix.
      • Suffix - The case identifier will include this suffix.
    • Manual - The case identifier value is assigned by the application. If set to Manual, you can also specify:
      • Maximum text length - The maximum length to which the application can set the case identifier value.
