Numbering/ References on process/activities

[Peter J A]

Hi

I am new to EA and new to the forum.  We are looking to use EA for business analysis in my current organisation, quite soon.  I was asked a question if EA can provide a ref/ numbering automatically on process boxes or activities?  Having played about with Activity and BPMN diagrams I notice there is no automatic generation of references.  Is it therefore possible to switch on refs/ numbering as this seems a fundamental part of a process diagram.   Someone in the team did mentioned their could be implications for linked components.  

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I am completely new to this software and just feeling my way in the dark.  If anybody could help that would be much appreciated, thank you

I'm not sure what you mean by "automatic generation of references"

There are two ways in EA to do some kind of automatic numbering.

- Auto-Naming and Auto-Counters
- Package Level Numbering

Hi Geert

Thanks for the reply.  The first link you sent on auto numbering explains best what I was thinking about.  Though the 2nd link on package numbering, looks very useful also.

Thanks for your assistance.
