How do I use Format management on the Docstream website?

Format management

With the Data type documentcalculatedformat you can assign a unique, automatically generated document number or name to files. You create the documentcalculatedformat in Dynamic field administration (page 106) and set it in the Document numbering window. Here you can select which document properties of a file are used. You can only choose from properties that belong to the same metadata set as the document number.
