The Auto Generate field automatically creates a unique value for a record based on a defined prefix and starting number. It is commonly used for generating IDs such as Employee IDs, Ticket Numbers, Invoice Numbers, or Reference Codes—eliminating the need for manual entry and reducing the risk of duplication.
When a new record is added to the application, the system automatically increments the value based on the configured starting point.
Example Configuration
Generated Output
This ensures every record receives a unique, sequential identifier.
1. Prefix: Allows you to add a custom text value before the number sequence.
Example: If the prefix is set to EMP, the generated values appear as: EMP001, EMP002, EMP003…
This is useful for clearly identifying records based on type or department.
2. Starts From: Defines the starting number of the sequence.
Examples:
0011005000This gives flexibility to align with existing numbering systems.
