Counters Tab - WebTMA 5

Path: Admin > Client Info / Counters Tab

The Counters Tab allows you to determine if some records utilize an automatic counter to number new records and/or to determine the starting number of records.

The first lines displayed on the Tab include a check box. The check box indicates that automatically numbering these lines is optional. The lines on the lower part of the Tab do not include a check box and are automatically numbered by WebTMA in sequence; however, you have the option to set the starting number.

If you do not mark optional check boxes, WebTMA requires that users enter a unique identifying number each time a new record is created and saved. When you check the Purchase Order and Purchase Requisition check boxes, you can also establish both a prefix as well as the starting number for the counter.

The records without a check box are numbered sequentially by WebTMA; however, you can include the starting number on the Counters Tab and a prefix for the Estimate Counter. The window labels on these number fields change depending on the record. For example, the number on the Fuel & Oil window is labeled Ticket #, and the number on the Estimate window is labeled Estimate #.

The Counters Tab also shows the number of the Last OH Adjustment.
