This article describes how to set up number ranges to be used in Smart ID Identity Manager.
Number ranges are set up in Identity Manager Admin to generate numbers (for example, card numbers) automatically.
Each number range consist of one or more areas from which the number is generated. A number range can, for example, generate numbers from two areas: 1000-1999 and 5000-5999.
