You mentioned that your document type is a clone of "DEMOART". What
did you call it (i.e. what is the "doctype ID"?)
If, for example, you called it "CLONART", then your report-number-
generation function parameters could look something like this:
Parameter Name Parameter Value
autorngen Y
counterpath lastid_CLONART_<PA>categ</PA>_<PA>yy</PA>
edsrn DEMOART_RN
rnformat DEMO-<PA>categ</PA>-<PA>yy</PA>
rnin comboCLONART
yeargen AUTO
In fact, the one that is of particular importance to you is "rnin".
If you want to include the category in the report number, it's value
must be the string "combo" + "doctype-id". So in the demo site's
"DEMOART" submission, it is "comboDEMOART". In your cloned
submission though, it will be "comboYOURDOCTYPEID", hence
"comboCLONART" in my example above.
"comboCLONART" will be the name of a file created in the
submission's working directory, and will contain the "category"
value that you selected at the beginning of the submission (article,
preprint or report in the DEMOART example.)
Many thanks, Nick. This cleared up my misunderstanding.
Do you recommend leaving edsrn as DEMOART_RN, or does it make more
sense to update all instances of "DEMOART" to the new doctype ID?
Thanks again!
Devin
