Changing Default Number Formats

If you decide to change the default structure of certain numbers or codes in Vision, use the Key Format utility to make these changes. You can change the length of the code, specify a delimiter, and specify a delimiter position.

Select Utilities > Key Formats to use the utility.

The changes you make with the Key Formats utility apply to all of the data in your database. Vision changes the number format in the current, future, and prior periods.

Deltek strongly recommends that you back up your database before changing any key format. There is no way to undo key format changes.

Use the Key Formats utility to change the following numbers and codes:

• Accounts

• Clients

• Employees

• Projects

• Phases

• Tasks

• Units

• Organizations

• Labor Codes

• Vendors

• Reference Numbers
