Steps to create Exhibit Numbers or Bates Numbers

The option to create exhibit numbers has moved from the Special Functions Feature of Sanction into the Centrifuge within Verdical.

  1. First select the items from the main screen that you wish to create Exhibit or Bates Numbers for and Right-Click with your mouse and choose Add to Centrifuge.
  2. Once all the items are added to the Centrifuge list, click on the Exhibit/Production #s tab in the Centrifuge and you can now choose the format for your exhibit number.
  3. For our example choose the standard option and type “EX” in the # Prefix box. Type “000” in the # Format box and start #s at “1”. You will see a sample below which shows you the output of your format options.  It will look like the following:  EX001.
  4. Next choose which field to apply the numbers to in the Apply to Field. You can choose one of the default Verdical fields such as Description or you can create a custom field such as Exhibit Number or Bates Number through the Coding Setup screen.  Note that if you want to add items to an Exhibit Number field, you will have to create that field prior to generating your exhibit numbers.
  5. There are also options to use incremental numbering or to apply the numbers to page #1 only.
  6. Once all of the options are selected click the “Apply” button and all the numbers will be created in the field you have selected.
