Remove the minimum of 3 digits for Sequence Numbers
Need to be able to have a 2 digit sequence number currently restricted to minimum of 3. This is critical for our customer as it will cause severe issues with their tagging.
Thanks Coen, I totally understand the reasoninng behind it. The issue is only arising because the document numbering that is affected ties in with tag numbering in their CMMS system so I get that it's a fairly particular problem here and not necessarily a common one.
The minimum sequence number length is determined to 3 because with 2 digits we run out of sequence numbers after 100 documents of the same Document Type, Discipline and Classification.
This feature is shipped with Meridian Cloud 2021.1
This idea is planned to be available for the Meridian 2021.2 release

Hi Nick,
Your idea has been reviewed by Development and is under consideration for a next sprint.
