For each module, you can define company-level settings that are the default for all new jobs.

1. Click the Maintenance ribbon tab.
2. On the menu, select Combining > Company Standards.

   The Company Standards dialog box opens.

3. Modify the settings as needed.

   Option	Description
   Job # Increment	Allows you to select the default option for automatic job numbering. The options are: Increment from Last Job #: When you create a new job, Tekla PowerFab uses the next available job number after the latest job number created. Increment from Largest Job #: Tekla PowerFab uses the next available job number after the largest job number created. Don't Increment: Automatic job numbering is not used. You can modify the job number when you create a new job.
   Mark Input Type	Allows you to select which format is used when defining mark numbers. The Any Input and Any Input - Logical Sort options allows you to use any format when defining marks. The difference between the two options is that the Any Input - Logical Sort sorts the items in a different way.
   Auto-Increment	When selected, Tekla PowerFab automatically populates the new mark number with the next largest available mark number when you are adding items in the Combining dialog box.
   Auto-Increment From Last Entered Value	When selected, Tekla PowerFab automatically populates the new mark number with the next mark number from the latest added mark number when you are adding items in the Combining dialog box.
   Allow Blank	When selected, Tekla PowerFab allows blank mark numbers.
   Allow Duplicate	When selected, Tekla PowerFab allows duplicate mark numbers.
   Keep Job Selection Screen Open	When selected, the Select <Module> Job dialog box stays open after a job has been opened. Otherwise, the dialog box closes when you open a job.
   Open to Filter Selection	When selected, the <Module> Filters dialog box automatically opens when you open a job. In the dialog box, you can set filters to only show the items that you want to see in the job. The job opens when you have set the filters.
   Automatically Create Document Index Directories	When selected, the Document Index directories defined in Maintenance > Document Index > Standard Categories are created automatically under the base document index directory when a job is created. See Set the standard categories for attached documents.
   Item Increment	Sets the autoincrement for item numbers. The default autoincrement of 10 allows items to be added in the list as needed, without having to renumber the other items in the job. For example, if items should be numbered as 10, 20, 30, ..., set the input increment to 10. If the autoincrement of item numbers is not necessary, type 1.
   Job # Regular Expression	Allows the use of regular expressions to enforce a desired format for the job numbers. For more details on regular expressions, click Regular Expression Help.

4. Click Save.

   Saving the settings closes the Company Standards dialog box.
