Syntax

public NumSchm AddNumberingScheme(
   System.string entityClassId,
   System.string schemeName,
   System.string providerName,
   NumSchmField[] fields,
   System.bool toUpperCase,
   System.bool reuseNumbers
)
Public Function AddNumberingScheme( _
   ByVal entityClassId As System.String, _
   ByVal schemeName As System.String, _
   ByVal providerName As System.String, _
   ByVal fields() As NumSchmField, _
   ByVal toUpperCase As System.Boolean, _
   ByVal reuseNumbers As System.Boolean _
) As NumSchm

Parameters

NameDescription
entityClassIdThe entity class id that the Numbering Scheme will operate on.
schemeNameThe name of the Numbering Scheme.
providerNameThe name of the Numbering Provider that provides numbers for the Numbering Scheme.
fieldsAn array of fields that make up the scheme. Please note, do not pass in any NumSchmField objects. Instead, pass in objects derived from NumSchmField.
toUpperCaseIf true, the characters in the Numbering Scheme should be displayed as upper case.
reuseNumbersIf true, Item Numbering Schemes will recycle numbers that were generated, but not in use. If false, once a number is created it can no longer be re-used.

Return Value

The Numbering Scheme object.
