    • In a Choice form field, you can manually add options a project member can choose from. Each option consists of a value and a description. The value is required and is used if you use metadata to define the document name.
    • In a Choice form field, you can use the form value of an existing form:
      1. Click Select a form.

    • A Counter form field allows you to add a counter at the end of your document name, if you want to rename the documents based on the metadata input. The counter searches for the amount of rows that already contain the same data. If none have the same data, the number is 1. If there are already 2 rows with the same data, the number is 3. You can choose the amount of decimals that is used: 1 to 10. Selecting 4 decimals turns number "1" into "0001". An example of a document is: PL_HVAC_0001.dwg.
