document ID
The document ID is an identifier, unique within the library, assigned to each document added to a FileNet library.
On CS systems, the document ID (item ID) is a nine-digit number and can be assigned sequential or nonsequential numbers. Your system administrator determines the numbering format.
The sequential document ID is the default and recommended numbering format. The starting number for the sequential format is 003670000. The numbers 367 are used in this format to avoid conflicts with existing nonsequential document IDs, where numbers 000-366 are used to represent the day of the year. The first sequential document ID is 003670001. This number is incremented sequentially until the document ID is 009999999. After 009999999, the new incremented number is 013670001. Here is an example of consecutive sequential document IDs: 003678481, 003678482.
The nonsequential document ID is based on Julian dates, where the first two digits identify the year, the next three digits identify the day in the year (numbers 000-366), and the last four digits identify the sequence in which items were added on that day (for example, 0001, 0002, 0003). Here is an example of consecutive, nonsequential document IDs: 972860079, 972860080.
Note
In the year 2000, you will not be able to use non-sequential document IDs.
When searching for CS documents, you can use wild cards (asterisks and question marks) for the search criteria if you do not know the complete document ID.
On IS systems, document IDs start at 100000 and are incremented as documents are added to the library. You cannot use wild card characters when searching for IDM Images Services document IDs.
