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.
