Folder Match: File Count In Folder and Match AutoNumber

The File Count In Folder and Match AutoNumber scheme is similar to the previous File Count In Folder scheme. Files are placed in a subfolder until a maximum quantity of files is reached and then a new subfolder will be created and the count starts again. The main difference between the two folder schemes is the way the subfolder name is formatted. As explained in the previous pages, with the File Count In Folder scheme, the subfolder name is based on the Folder Number and Folder Format options. With the File Count In Folder and Match AutoNumber scheme, the name of the subfolder is based on the part number being generated. Folder Path: The root folder all subfolders will be created within. Folder Limit: The maximum quantity of files per subfolder. Folder Number Digits: The number of digits for both of the “ranged” numbers of the noted subfolder name.

For example, with the options set as above, the first 500 files (1-500) are placed within the Z:\VAULT\ 000000- 000500 \ folder whereas the next 500 files (501 – 1,000) are placed within the Z:\VAULT\ 000500-001000 \ folder.
