Add a counter using the Generate Counter Wizard
Generating a counter is useful for numbered tickets or any other template requiring sequential
numbers but no variable data.
The Generate Counter Wizard creates a record set with a Counter field and in that field, the
current counter value for each record. The Counter starts and stops at set values and is
incremented by a set value as well.
1.
To open the Generate Counter Wizard, select File > Add data > Generate counters.
2. Adjust the settings:
l
Starting value: The starting number for the counter. Defaults to 1.
l
Increment value: The value by which to increment the counter for each record. For
example, an increment value of 3 and starting value of 1 would give the counter
values of 1, 4, 7, 10, [...]
l
Number of records: The total number of counter records to generate. This is not
the end value but rather the total number of actual records to generate.
l
Padding character: Which character to add if the counter's value is smaller than
the width.
l
Width: The number of digits the counter will have (prefix and suffix not included). If
the width is larger than the current counter value, the padding character will be used
on the left of the counter value, until the width is equal to the set value. For example
for a counter value of "15", a width of "4" and padding character of "0", the value will
become "0015".
l
Prefix: String to add before the counter, for example, adding # to get #00001. The
prefix length is not counted in the width.
l
Suffix: String to add after the counter. The suffix length is not counted in the width.
