Setting issue project options

You can control how new issues are numbered when they are added to the project.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Project Options.

The Project Options dialog box opens.

2. Select the Issues category.

3. Select any Defer Issue Numbering options to specify when issues are automatically numbered.

If you clear an option, new issues added to the project when the corresponding action occurs must be manually assigned numbers later. See Assigning issue numbers.

4. Enter the Next Number values.

• Next issue number specifies the number to assign to the next issue added to the project. You can enter any value greater than the largest existing issue number.
• Next sequence number specifies the number used when issues are imported from an email, or submitted using SoloSubmit. The number is entered in the issue Reference field and the %SEQN% field code can be used in the Email Acknowledgment email template to provide the reference number to the submitter. You can enter any value greater than the largest existing sequence number.

5. Click OK to save the changes.
