This extension allows the creation of custom identifiers for any artifact. You can also define a prefix and a postfix in a module attribute, which will result in PREFIX-ID-POSTFIX. Create a custom identifier with a minimum of user interaction.
Introduction
DOORS ID Generator provides users with a robust and efficient solution for generating customized 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-DOORS_NEXT_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.

1.) User Interface
- 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.
2.) DOORS ID Generator - short description
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.
Softacus has developed a comprehensive software solution called DOORS ID Generator that streamlines the creation and modification of custom identifiers in modules. This solution empowers users to identify specific requirement types in the same manner as DOORS Classic.
Preconditions and Restrictions
To create a function, the user must create Requirement ID attributes within their project/component properties.
