    Autogenerate


      Article summary

      The Auto Generate field automatically generates a field value based on a defined starting value in the field properties.

      IMPORTANT

      Suppose you set the properties of the Auto Generate element as follows:

      Field Name: Employee ID

      Label Name: Employee ID

      Prefix: EID

      Starts From: 001

      In this case, when you add a new record to the application, the Employee ID will be automatically generated in the format EID001, EID002, and so on, incrementing with each new record.
