Customizing the Naming Service
Out-of-the-Box
When the user creates a CAD Document using save and upload from Creo actions, an out-of-the-box delegate is designed to provide values for CAD Document Name and Number.
* 
The Naming service is for the upload action only.
The order of precedence used by the system for naming policies and customizations is as follows:
Name:
a. Custom: Naming service customization.
b. PTC_COMMON_NAME: Explicitly assigned Common Name through the Creo Parametric File > New window.
c. Parameter-driven: Name parameter (Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Naming Parameter = <some string parameter>).
d. Name-driven: File Name (The preference, Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Drop File Extension From Name takes effect only if Name is assigned based on File Name (CAD Name))
Number:
a. Custom: Naming service customization.
b. Auto-numbering: When the preference, Operation > Upload Operation > Upload Default Value For Number When Unset is set to Do not synchronize file name and number, then the OIRs are used to generate a number.
c. Parameter-driven: Number parameter (Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Numbering Parameter)
d. Name-driven: The preference, Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Drop File Extension From Number takes effect only if Number is assigned based on File Name [CAD Name].
* 
The file name can be auto-numbered when OIRs are configured.
