AutoNumber References

AutoNumber is a special placeholder used to generate an automatically incremented numeric counter. You can use it to create uniquely identified values while resolving the duplicate mapped values.

This placeholder is specified as either [AutoNumber] where the sequence start value is defaulted to "1" or [AutoNumber:<sequence start value>].

Notes:

• The value of sequence start value should be an integer greater than or equal to "0". If you enter a negative value, then the sequence start value is defaulted to "1".

• Re-processing another version of the input file may result in different numbers being assigned as the order of the objects may change.

Example Usage:

<Object>

<Conditions>

<Attribute name="Name" pattern="Door"/>

</Conditions>

<ObjectID value="[Name]_[AutoNumber]">

</ObjectID>

</Object>

The above example indicates that if you have multiple objects in your source system having Name attribute with their value matching "Door", then the value of the Name attribute along with the special [AutoNumber] placeholder can be used in deriving the unique ObjectID values such as Door_1, Door_2, Door_3 and so on.

<Object>

<Conditions>

<Attribute name="Name" pattern="Door"/>

</Conditions>

<ObjectID value="[Name]_[AutoNumber:11]">

</ObjectID>

</Object>

The above example indicates that if you have multiple objects in your source system having Name attribute with their value matching "Door", then the value of the Name attribute along with the special [AutoNumber] placeholder can be used in deriving the unique ObjectID values such as Door_11, Door_12, Door_13 and so on.
