#Configure Unique ID Settings

In this section, you can define a unique ID column name and a prefix for the unique ID column value.

Refer to the following steps to configure the unique ID settings for documents in libraries:

1. Click Unique ID settings.

2. Column name – Define a name for the unique ID column. AvePoint Opus will activate the Document ID Service feature and use the SharePoint On-Premises auto-generated Document ID column to display the unique ID of each document. This column name cannot be changed.

3. Unique ID prefix – Enter a prefix, for example, Ave**Point. A ten-digit number that starts with 0000000001 will be generated for each classified document, for example, AvePoint-0000000001. The prefix combined with this ten-digit number will be assigned as the unique identifier for each classified document.

   • The unique ID prefix can be updated. The updated prefix will not take effect on the already assigned unique ID numbers.

   • For libraries, you can set a prefix after the Document ID Service feature is enabled in On-Premises. You can choose to overwrite the prefix configured in On-Premises libraries.

4. Click Save to save the configured unique ID settings.
