Dynamic Stamps in v10

[rah]

It's great to see the updated Dynamic Stamps in v10.

Is there a tech document that explains how to use them? I watched the new features demo video and was able to create a sequentially numbered stamp (001, 002, 003, etc) but how is it controlled?

How do you reset the sequence to a different number?
How do you change a number if needed?

Hello, rah

As a dynamic stamp, these capabilities are controlled automatically by the Javascript that creates them. When you choose to add a counter, you are give the option of "per document" or "global".

A "per document" counter will reset back to 1 when you switch documents, but will also detect the existence of this same counter in an existing document, and continue counting up.
A "global" counter will continue to count up across all documents until the application is closed, then it will reset back to 1.

If you wish for more complicated conditionals, I am afraid that will require someone with advanced JavaScript knowledge to build it for you personally, as we do not offer such services.

Kind regards,

At it's current level of development, I don't think we'd be able to use of it.

Thanks for the explanation.

Hi rah,

Take a look at this discussion. There are a couple of versions of a counter stamp that you could adopt to your needs.

Hi there,
I was looking for some of the features rah was and found that there are custom document properties that are added to the document via the counter.
There you can reset the counter as well.
