Automatic numbering
Please note
The platform supports both numbering schemes (default and alternative numbering) defined in the ISO/IEC directives. The numbering scheme needs to be defined at the time of onboarding. To change your current auto-numbering scheme contact helpdesk@iso.org
Clauses, Figures, Tables, Equations, Notes and Examples are automatically incrementally numbered when they are added to the document.
When you insert a new numbered element in between two existing elements (for example you add a new table in a clause, but the next clause already contains a table), then the new element will get the correct next incremental value, and subsequent elements be automatically renumbered.
Any cross reference made to an automatically numbered element will also have its label, automatically numbered.
Default numbering scheme:
| Element | Numbering in Main Part of Document | Numbering in Annexes |
| Clauses | Clause 1 Clause 1.1 Clause 1.1.1 |
Annex A A.1 A.1.1 ... |
| Tables | Table 1, Table 2... | Table A.1, Table A.2 where "A" is the number of the Annex |
| Figures | Figure 1, Figure 2... |
Figure A.1, Figure A.2 where "A" is the number of the Annex |
| Equations | (1), (2), ... | (A.1), (A.2) where "A" is the number of the Annex |
| Notes | Single note not numbered. From 2 notes in a clause onwards Note 1, Note 2,... |
|
| Lists | Numbered lists a) level 1 1) level 2 i) level 3 Bulleted lists alternate dashes and bullets, always starting with a dash (-) |
|
Alternative numbering scheme:
| Element | Numbering in Main Part of Document | Numbering in Annexes |
| Clauses | Clause 1 Clause 1.1 Clause 1.1.1 |
Annex A A.1 A.1.1 ... |
| Tables | Table 1-1, Table 1-2, Table 2-1... |
Table A.1,-1 Table A.1-2 where "A" is the number of the Annex |
| Figures | Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, Figure 2-1... |
Figure A.1-1, Figure A.1-2 where "A" is the number of the Annex |
| Equations | (1-1), (2-2), ... |
(A1-1),(A1-2) where "A" is the number of the Annex |
| Notes | Single note not numbered. From 2 notes in a clause onwards Note 1, Note 2,... |
|
| Lists |
