What is the Unique ID element?

The Unique ID widget creates a distinct identifier that can be customized using a prefix field within the form builder.

PLEASE NOTE: The Unique ID is generated on the server side once the record has been successfully submitted. It is commonly hidden on the device using a condition value of false. 

How do I add the Unique ID element to my form?

To add the Unique ID element to your form, please follow the instructions below.

STEP 1. From inside the form builder, select the Unique ID icon.

STEP 2. On the right-hand side, you'll see the element properties.  Enter the name of your element.

Note that if you check the Based on Label option, it will create a data column based on the Label on the element.

STEP 3. From the Element Properties tab, in the Masking field, add your prefix.

STEP 4. Save your form.

Once you've uploaded a record containing the Unique ID field to the server, you'll see the ID has been populated.
