Here you can choose the separator, number of digits, and the start number for your Project Number format. The separator list has four available options: hyphen, colon, slash, or dot. However, you can type in any character you desire. 

Note: You cannot leave the separator field blank.

Change Order Numbering

 

You have the option of maintaining separate number for external vs. internal Change Orders. This allows for continuity of numbering when presenting Change Orders to your Client.

Revision Numbering

 

You have the option to set the Revision Number as blank when approving a project. This helps maintain accurate linear numbering if you often reprint Proposal reports after the project has been approved. Note: Generally Change Order Numbers are what matter after approving a Project but there are some cases where this may benefit you, based on the reports you expose to your clients post-sale.
