Overview | Numbering Identification

When parsing document identifiers, ReadySuite may need to best-determine page identifiers using page counts. In these cases, ReadySuite will split a page identifier (otherwise known as a bates number) into 3 parts: prefix, counter and padding. Currently, suffixes outside of load files are not supported (for example, .001 or .AA) and is planned to be incorporated in a later release.

Reading the page identifier from the end of the value moving backwards, the prefix is assigned starting with the first non-numeric character encountered. The counter is the entire numeric portion while the padding is the number of digits contained in the counter.

Using the above methodology, some common examples are:

ABC000001

Prefix: ABC

Counter: 1

Padding: 6

ABC-AA-2576

Prefix: ABC-AA-

Counter: 2576

Padding: 4

ABC.09523

Prefix: ABC.

Counter: 9523

Padding: 5

0045321

Prefix:

Counter: 45321

Padding: 7
