accepts the use of dots, dashes and underscores. This additional text will be added to documents created after activation is set, and
will limit the maximum document number length to 13. (Use the Bulk Update feature to update all prior documents with the entry provided.) - Radio buttons are used to select either Prefix or Suffix.
- Alphanumeric text field, five character max, must have at least one non-numeric value to enter text before/after the document number
(Note: the use of symbols may cause errors to occur with some 3rd party integrations. Please check with that application before applying
