Question

Is there a way to set the starting value for Global Count?

Version 9 Laserfiche

I'd like it to start at a number higher than 0. How can I manipulate it, it looks read-only in the Admin Console (LF 9.2.0.343).

0 0

You can specify this by modifying the dboptions table in your repository database. Please backup the database before making any manual modifications.

Look in the dboptions table for an optionname called CountToken (otherwise insert it if it doesn't already exist). Set the value to be one less than what you want to first Global Count value to be. For example, if you want to start the count at 1001, then set the optionvalue for the CountToken optionname to be 1000. Then restart the Laserfiche Server service. Now the next time the %(GCount) token is used, it will resolve to 1001.

It's not directly editable. You could use it once on a test/sample document which you then delete and it will now be 1.
