What auto numbers control

Auto Numbers controls the generated IDs used by Infringements, Cases and Inspections. Each number type can use a prefix, separator and numeric sequence so teams can keep records readable and unique.

Locked view: the next number is visible, but the format is protected until unlocked.

Unlocking a number format

Use the lock button on a number card to unlock editing. Only users with the required role should change numbering formats, because these settings affect future records.

Prefix length and separators

Set the prefix length from 0–8 characters. A value of 0 removes the prefix. Then choose a separator: None, - or /. Prefix characters can be edited directly in the prefix boxes.

Infringements with a custom INF prefix and dash separator.
Adjusting prefix length changes the editable prefix fields.

Starting number

Set the starting number before the sequence is in active use. Once records are being generated, the starting number is locked to protect record continuity. The preview shows the Example and Next number before you confirm.

Number types

The same controls apply to each number type:

  • Infringements — issued infringement notices on cases.
  • Cases — ANPR-auto, manual and inspection-derived cases using one shared sequence.
  • Inspections — inspections created from a form in the cases service.
Cases can use their own prefix and sequence settings.
Inspections use the same Auto Numbers controls.
