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.
