Policies
Purpose
When enabled, the continue-numbering-sequence-from-previous-year advanced setting will continue the policy numbering counter sequence from the previous year with only the year updated.
Requirements
This setting requires True and False buttons.
Setting default
By default, continue-numbering-sequence-from-previous-year is set to False, so the policy number generated is a new sequence with both the year updated and the counter reset.
Change the default
To change the default so the policy numbering counter sequence from the previous year will continue:
- Navigate to Settings > Advanced > Policies.
- In the continue-numbering-sequence-from-previous-year box, select True.
Adoption considerations
Below is a demonstration of how the policy number will change if the setting is enabled or disabled.
