Resolution
There is no standard functionality to count the number of documents generated for a particular template. However, you can use sequence object, create a rule and map to the template. Follow the below steps to generate a document with the sequence number.
Step 1 - Create a template from Manage Document Template.
Step 2 - Map the tags used in Step 1 from Manage Document Template Mapping. Kindly use the rule based mapping type for the sequence number to get generated.
Step 3 - Configure the sequence object in Manage Data > Sequence.
Step 4 - Configure the rule from rule engine.
Step 5 - Generate the document from Generate Document.
This number will increment by 1 step whenever the document is generated.
Please Note: There is no guarantee that there will be no skipping of sequence values with the method highlighted above.
