Configuring manually triggered incremental identifiers

PreviousCreating and editing namespaces and identifiersNextConfiguring automatically triggered incremental identifiers

Last updated 23 days ago

Manually triggered incremental identifiers can only be configured by an Administrator of the relevant Stewardship Organization.

Stewardship Organization Administrators can add manually triggered incremental identifiers to metadata items, and configure them. An incremental identifier is an identifier which increases by a single value with each new item it is assigned to.

Note: Incremental identifiers must exist within a namespace, which itself must exist within a Stewardship Organization. See this procedure's for more information.

How to configure manually triggered incremental identifiers

  1. Select 'Administrator Tools' from the dashboard side panel.

  1. Select 'Manage Stewardship Organisations'.

  1. Select the relevant Stewardship Organization from the list.

  1. Select 'Managed Items', then 'Namespace'.

  1. Select 'Create Namespace'.

  1. Adjust the 'Name', 'Shorthand prefix' and 'Definition' fields as desired.

  1. From the Autoincrement dropdown, if you want to assign a custom identifier, select 'Free-text identifier'. If you want to assign an editable, auto-incrementing identifier, select 'Manually assigned incrementing identifier'.

  1. Select 'Create New Namespace' from the bottom of the page.

  1. Navigate to the metadata item you wish to assign a manually triggered incremental identifier to, and select 'Open item editor' from its 'Actions' dropdown.

  1. Select the 'Identifiers' tab.

  1. Select the appropriate manually triggered identifier from the 'Namespace' dropdown, then adjust the 'Identifier' field as desired.

  1. Select 'Save changes' when you are satisfied.

  1. The item's identifier will now appear in its infobox.
