Is it Possible to Auto Generate Unique IDs or Numbers for All Pages?

[Brian Geraghty]

I'm writing an operations manual with load of SOPs and Work Instructions and I want to assign unique ID numbers to all of the documents I'm making. Does anyone know if it's possible to make this a default setting for all new documents / pages? And, Is it possible to customize the numbering / ID? For example, instead of using a random 6 or 8 digit number, I'd like to use pre-fixes that correlate to the section (i.e. chapter) where the page is published. For example, a page that is a SOP under a section General could have an ID as such: GEN_SOP_001.
