Apply User-Defined Section Numbering
In your report template, you might want to number the section levels, with a numbering format of your own design. For example:
1. Package level 1
1.1 Package level 2 (child Package)
1.1.1 Element Level 1
1.1.1.1 Element (child element)
To define the numbering format you:
- First create a numbering list, then
- Create a set of list overrides for this list
In the overrides, you change the initial 1.0.0 setting to 1.1.1. You can then apply the numbering list to the headings set for Packages and elements, using paragraph numbering.
