How to Generate Running Numbers with DoingLabel
Route: Usage Tips - [ How to Generate Running Numbers with DoingLabel ]The running number auto-generation function works the same across the Label Generator, Batch Barcode Generator, and Batch QR Code Generator. This guide uses the [Label Generator] as an example, and the operation is identical for the [Batch Barcode Generator] and [Batch QR Code Generator].
- In the [Import Data] section, import your Excel or CSV table data.
- Add a blank column to the data list.
- Hover your mouse over the header of this blank column— a function list for operating on the column will pop up, which includes [Fill Running Number] button (as shown in the diagram below).
- Click the [Fill Running Number] button, and a settings window for running number generation rules will pop up (as shown in the diagram below).
Running Number Generation Rule Settings
1. [The Starting Number] and [The Ending Number]
These two basic settings define the range of running numbers. Running numbers are generated by incrementing from the start number (inclusive) up to the end number (inclusive). These settings are mandatory, and the input must be integers.
2. [Step Value]
This setting defines the increment (i.e., step size) of running numbers, which is the difference between two adjacent running numbers. In most cases, it is set to 1.
For example: If you need to generate even running numbers, set [The Starting Number] to 2 and [Step Value] to 2. This configuration will generate even running numbers.
3. [Fixed Prefix and Suffix for Running Numbers]
If you need to add fixed characters to the Prefix or Suffix of each running number, fill in this setting.
For example: If the running numbers of electrical products need to be prefixed with "SN" (e.g., SN20251010001), enter "SN" in the [Start With] field and keep other settings as default. The fixed character "SN" will be added to the beginning of each generated running number.
4. [Sort Order]
By default, running numbers are generated in [Ascending] (incremental). You can also select [Descending] (decremental) for generation.
5. [Empty Space Fill 0]
By default, zeros are added to fill in insufficient digits for alignment. For example: When generating running numbers from 1 to 20, a zero will be automatically added before numbers 1 to 9 to ensure all running numbers are 2 digits long (e.g., 01, 02, ..., 09, 10, ..., 20).
