    Hi All,

    I was wondering what you were using to create your nomenclature for formula numbers and if there was a use case? We have multiple categories so I thought that may be useful to segment out. Thoughts?

    We use book-page numbers for lab use, and then 6 digit codes (three letters three numbers) for full production. It’s whatever system will work best for your needs. If you’re inputting any of this into some software, leaving spaces is generally a bad idea for naming things, so do underscores, dashes, zeroes,etc.
