When you run a production, you may choose to create production numbers and write the numbers back to the database. The create production number option saves the new production numbers to the new or appended .cib file and writes the beginning and ending production numbers for each document back to the Concordance Desktop database to cross-reference the information in the original record.
The Production Preferences options provide both whole number production numbers and productions numbers that include a suffix.
For example, the production has three documents (A, B, C) and document B contains four pages. The image below defines the production settings.
The whole number production numbers are generated and written back to Concordance Desktop as follows:
Document |
Begin Production Number |
End Production Number |
|---|---|---|
A |
DAT000001 |
DAT000001 |
B |
DAT000002 |
DAT000005 |
C |
DAT000006 |
DAT000006 |
Productions with the suffix added, are generated and written back to Concordance Desktop as follows:
Document |
Begin Production Number |
End Production Number |
|---|---|---|
A |
DAT000001.0001 |
DAT000001.0001 |
B |
DAT000002.0001 |
DAT000002.0004 |
C |
DAT000003.0001 |
DAT000005.0001 |
Each document is produced with the corresponding production and page number. Therefore, in the above example, each page of document B is produced with one of the following production numbers: DAT000002.0001, DAT000002.0002, DAT000002.0003, DAT000002.0004.
