Having issues with your numbering or need help formatting bulk uploads? Don’t worry—we have the repair numbering tool to quickly get everything in order, allowing you to adjust numbering and naming conventions, reorganise your index, and ensure it appears clear and easily digestible for your guests.
How to open repair numbering tool
Go to Manage Documents > top right Actions > Repair numbering.
Step 1: Log in to the Ansarada Data Room
Log in at dash.ansarada.com
Step 2: Locate the Repair numbering tool
Go to "Manage Documents," select "Actions" then click on "Repair numbering"
Step 3: Renumbering the index
A window appears with three options:
Option one is Number to Name. This moves the characters in the numbering column next to the existing folder or document name. This occurs when you have not pre-numbered your files and folders, but selected “use my numbers” when bulk uploading. The Room will detect the first word of the files and folders as number and appear as grey.
This action should be followed by using the renumbering tool
Name to Number (characters before the first space). This moves the characters before the first space into the numbering field. This occurs when you have pre-numbered your files and folders, but have not selected “use my numbers” when bulk uploading. The files and folders would appear with 2 sets of number references (one in grey and one in red).
Option three is Delete Characters Before First Space in Name. This deletes the characters before the first space in the naming column. This occurs when you have pre-numbered your files and folders, but have not selected “use my numbers” when bulk uploading. The files and folders would appear with 2 sets of number references (one in grey and one in red).
Note: It's always good to take an export to excel prior to making any of these bulk changes.
