May 2023 release - Introducing sequential ids

Sequential ids for documents and series

From now on, sequential identifiers are automatically assigned to documents and series. They contain the character "D" or "S", the year of creation and a number that starts at 1 and is reset every year.

Additionally, the identifier for series contains a three-letter code for the ProFID instance that created it (usually a country code). This allows to share series identifiers between ProFID instances with no ambiguity.

  • Example of a document identifier: D-23-0001
  • Example of a series identifier: S-DEU-23-001

Other changes

  • Series are no longer created while describing a document. If a document is associated to a series that doesn't exist yet, the series will be created when the document is saved.
  • In the series list, the "Updated at" column no longer reflects all changes to a series. This field is now only updated when the series' list of documents is modified or when its contextual or material profile are updated.
  • In documents and series search filters, clicking the "Reset" button now also resets the text search term.
  • Various bug fixes and improvements to the user interface.
