Entry: Auto Numbering settings panel

  1. In the Auto Numbering panel, set the related parameters as prompted in the interface.
  2. Adjust the numbering display style or related options as needed.
  3. Check the preview result and confirm that the numbering output matches your expectation.

Success Criteria

  • Next action available: You can continue adjusting parameters or move to the save step.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Saving before checking the preview may leave you with a numbering style you did not intend to use.
  • Environment note: If the page loads slowly, wait for the preview to refresh before confirming.

3. Save the Auto Numbering configuration

Entry: Auto Numbering settings panel → OK / Save

  1. Finish the parameter setup and confirm that the preview is correct.
  2. Click OK to complete the current setting.
  3. If the form workflow requires it, continue with form save or publish actions so the new configuration applies to later responses.

  • Next action available: You can continue editing the form, publish the form, or test the upload workflow.

Tips While Using

  • Environment note: It is often helpful to test one upload flow before formal use.
