Renaming Documents when uploading

We have upgraded the PermAssist to provide the ability to rename duplicate documents when its get upload

I.E:  Consider a  document named "Hello.pdf" is already uploaded to the documents section, Now someone uploads a new document with the same name ("Hello.pdf"). The newly uploaded document will be automatically renamed to "Hello(2)".pdf

I have uploaded the document to one folder and if I upload the same document to another folder will the name change?

No, the name will not change if the file is uploaded to a different folder.

I Accidently uploaded a document and deleted it. If I upload the same document once again with the same name will the name still change?

No, we have built this function in a manner to ignore renaming if the document with the same name is deleted from the document section.

The same document uploaded after it has been deleted,

Is this only applicable to Surveyor Portal of PermAssist?

This is applicable to following portals,

1. Surveyor Portal (https://surveyor.permassist.com.au/)
   
2. Inspector Portal (https://inspector.permassist.com.au/)
   
3. Applicant Portal (https://permit.permassist.com.au/)
   

Also whenever a document is generated via workflow, if a document with same name already available the new document will automatically get renamed

How can I enable this function?

This works out of the box and available to all customers
