Control object numbering and versioning in M-Files
Define any custom object numbering and versioning formats — no code required.
Not all versioning needs are the same
- Why does the version number increase even when I just fix a typo?
- Can I display version changes only after document approval?
- We use a specific versioning format — can we configure that?
- How do I group task numbers per project instead of using a global counter?
Sound familiar?
Many teams have specific versioning and numbering requirements, whether to meet internal policies or stay compliant with industry standards.
But built-in versioning options don’t always reflect these needs, and adapting them often means custom development.
That’s why teams look for more control and flexibility — without added complexity.
