Introduction
DOORS ID Generator provides users with a robust and efficient solution for generating custom identifiers for artifacts. With the ability to define a prefix and postfix in the module attribute, users can now tailor the format of their identifiers to suit their individual needs. The resultant format takes the shape of PREFIX-ID-POSTFIX, allowing for greater flexibility and customization.
This feature simplifies the process of creating bespoke identifiers, as users can now generate unique and meaningful IDs with minimal user interaction.
Use Cases and Features
Based on the functionalities and use cases that this extension is helping you with, we kept the user interface as simple as possible. In the current version of the widget you can find:

The extension in question enables users to generate unique identifiers for Doors NG, incorporating a prefix and postfix that enables users to identify specific requirement types in the same manner as Doors classic. This functionality ensures that users can seamlessly transition to the new platform without compromising their established workflow processes. As such, it enhances user productivity and streamlines workflow processes by eliminating the need for manual intervention.
- Create custom identifier - The software solution offers users the ability to generate custom identifiers with minimal user interaction. This feature provides users with a streamlined and efficient way of creating bespoke identifiers tailored to their specific requirements, without compromising quality or accuracy.
