You can set the starting value for an auto-generated sequence. The starting value will be the first value used to sequence any records added to the repository after the starting value was set. Setting the starting value will not change the sequence number for records that already exist in the repository.

To set the value of the next sequence number generated:

  1. Log into EnterWorks Classic as a user assigned to the Administrator group.
  2. Open the list of existing sequences by opening the Feature bar, opening the Model Configuration tab, and selecting Sequences.
  3. Open the desired sequence definition for editing by selecting the definition, opening the Action dropdown menu, and selecting Edit. The sequence definition's configuration options will be displayed:
    • Name: (Required) The name of the sequence definition. Do not include special characters in the name, such as & < > ".
    • Prefix: (Optional) You can add a prefix to auto-generated sequence numbers. This can be useful for automatically generating GTIN values.
    • Starting Sequence: (Required) The first number in the sequence. Do not set the Starting Sequence Number to a value the same as or lower than the Current Max Sequence, otherwise as records are added, their sequence numbers may be the same as the sequence numbers for records that already exist.
    • Current Max Sequence: This is a displayed value only. It is not a configuration option. It displays the highest number currently in the sequence. If this value is blank, no records have been generated yet that use this sequence definition.
  4. Change the Starting Sequence Number to the next sequence number you want used.
  5. Click the Save button.
