Editor's review
This tool for SharePoint helps generate document id numbers automatically.
SharePoint Document Number Generator generates unique numbers or names for documents in SharePoint library. This way the documents become easily identifiable and classified. These facilities are not available as a native feature of SharePoint. The numbering/naming scheme can be set up by the user. Incoming documents will be numbered/ named according to this specified scheme. This function is included in SharePoint Classifier. That software has an easy to use interface. The features offered by the tool enables users to bulk upload, check in, edit, tag, approve, copy and move documents directly in SharePoint. Besides the automatic numbering tool, additional features available in the SharePoint classifier include bulk properties editor, bulk zip & unzip, item audit logs, list advanced features, list transfer, etc. Customized numbering scheme can be specified. You could build as complex a scheme that suits your need.
It is possible to add SharePoint and custom metadata fields to a scheme. These metadata values can be dynamically inserted and document numbers or names could easily be generated. It will be possible to define a formula for each content type and the documents in each type could be numbered/ named as uniquely as you want. Integration with SharePoint is seamless. When properties are updated, numbers would be regenerated. This tool is compatible with SharePoint 2007, WSS 3.0, SharePoint 2010, SharePoint Server 2010, MOSS 2007. This software is also compatible with SharePoint Foundation 2010. When dealing with a large volume of documents of various types, this can be very useful.
