Apply User-Defined Section Numbering
In your report template, you might want to number the section levels, with a numbering format of your own design. For example:
1. Package level 1
1.1 Package level 2 (child package)
1.1.1 Element Level 1
1.1.1.1 Element (child element)
To define the numbering format you:
· | First create a numbering list, then |
· | Create a set of list overrides for this list |
In the overrides, you change the initial 1.0.0 setting to 1.1.1. You can then apply the numbering list to the headings set for Packages and elements, using paragraph numbering.
Access Right-click in the Content panel of the Document Template Designer and select Edit | List and Overrides
