Numbering scheme

There are 3 options you can use depending on your situation to fix numbering issues that you may encounter when bulk uploading.

1. Numbers to name

  • 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, see below example:

  • Select Number to name option so the name will appear the name field rather than the number field.

  • Next, use the renumbering tool to assign number to the files and folders.

2. Names to number (characters before first space)

  • 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 as double numbering, see below example:

  • Select Name to number option if you prefer to use your own numbering.

3. Delete characters before first space in name

  • 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 as double numbering, see below example:

  • Select Delete characters before first space in name option if you prefer to use Ansarada auto-numbering.
