Identifying the Current Naming and Numbering Policy
Use the following algorithm to understand which policy is currently set in the system (for a particular container and class of object):
• If automatic numbering is set in the object initialization rules, then that is the policy.
• If custom behavior is implemented in the object initialization rules, then that is the policy.
• If neither automatic numbering nor custom behavior is set, but the parameter-driven properties are set in the Preference Management utility, then policy is parameter-driven.
• If the number is not set by automatic numbering, custom behavior, or parameters, then numbering is name-driven. This is set in the Object Initialization Rules Administration utility.
