Not only can you set the Auto Number to be displayed in Alpha, Numeric, Alpha-Numeric and Roman Numeral Formats, you can also set an Auto Number Seed.

The Auto Number Seed can be set from the properties window for an Activity. Anything you type in this field will appear along with the Auto Number for that Activity and will be assigned to all children of that Activity as well.

For example. If I click on the Purpose and assign an Auto Number Seed of "xBML" The Auto Numbers for every Activity in that model will appear as follows. xBML 1, xBML 1.1, xBML 1.2 etc.

You can also set Auto Number Seeds for individual Legs or specific Activities.

For Example, if I click on "Activity 1" and assign an Auto Number Seed. That seed will only appear on child Activities to "Activity 1"

NOTE: After you set an Auto Number Seed in the properties window, you will need to perform a Layout

To remove the Auto Number Seed, you can either:

Highlight the Activity on which the Auto Number Seed was assigned and delete it from the properties window.

OR

Click on the Auto Number Icon in the Toolbar and select "Clear Auto Number." This will remove all Auto Number Seeds from the model.

NOTE: After you perform this action, all the Auto Numbers in the model will be removed. However, when you perform a layout, the default Auto Numbers will reappear.

The GOLDEN RULE: Autosave and backup files should never be used as alternatives to normal and regular savings. ALWAYS SAVE EARLY & SAVE OFTEN!

AutoSave
    Auto saved files are temporary files that the W5 creates automatically as a means to recover data in the event of a system or application crash. This file is created in the same directory where your file exists. The auto saved file will have a "~" in front of the name and is often grayed out. Keep in mind that the auto saved version of your file is deleted when the application is shut down normally.

First, create the custom dictionary. To create a custom dictionary, perform the following:

• Open the xBML Client and perform a spell check.
• When the spell check window appears, click the 'Options...' button.
• When the options window appears, click the 'Custom Dictionaries' tab.
• Click the 'Add...' button
• Create a new custom dictionary file by right-clicking the 'Open' window and selecting 'New-->Text Document' and provide a name (ie.CustomDictionary1.txt).
• Select the CustomDictionary1.txt file and click 'OK'.
• Exit the spell check window by clicking the 'Cancel' button.
• The next time a spell check is performed, words can be added to the custom dictionary by selecting the custom dictionary in the 'Add Words To:.' drop down box and clicking the 'Add' button.
