Connect offers for different modules the possibility to make suggestions for the names of the items that are created in those modules. The name is based on a pattern that you specify.

Example

For example for production order names, the pattern can consists of:

• Machine, quality, creel and buggies related fields
• Alphabetic and numeric serial number
• Custom text

The suggestion is shown under the name box and can be applied, or you can be deviated from this suggestion:

Pattern creation

1. In the top right corner, click Custom settings, or click and then Custom settings.
2. For Name placeholder separator, select a separator, e.g. Underscore.
   
   
   
3. For Name generation pattern, click Select.
   If a pattern already exists, click Edit.
4. If no pattern exists, click Add name pattern and create the pattern.
   If a pattern already exists, you can change it.
   • In the left dropdown box, select the data to be used.
   • The fields on the right of this box depend on the type of data that is selected. See further.
   • Click to add more data.
