Serial Number
This feature allows you to set up sequences that are automatically assigned when data is saved.In the Prefix field, you can register a date or a specific code value, and you can set it to be a random number or a consecutive number.
When saving new data, the assigned sequence number will be automatically assigned according to the connected sequence, and the value will be entered.
- How-To Create
Select the
Utility
>Serial Code
menu in the Object Explorer.Click on New button in the
Serial Number
List to register a newSerial Number
.The Sequence Type can be chosen between Random and Sequential.
INFO
Random generates numbers randomly, while Sequential generates numbers sequentially.
INFO
When Sequence Type is selected as Sequential, the Allow Rotation field that allows you to specify whether to rotate is activated next to the Serial Infix input field.
INFO
If
Allow Location
isYES
, the numbering is cycled and the numbering starts again from the beginning after all numbers are numbered. IfAllow Location
isNo
, it is non-cyclic and the numbering ends after all numbers are numbered.The number of digits generated is determined by Sequence Length.
Click the Rule List “New” button to set the sequence setting rule registered in the Serial Number.
Details
The available Rule Codes for input are YY, YYYY, MM, DD, and CODE. Depending on the order in which they are entered, the assigned values will vary.
Details
For the Sequence Id registered with the date
2023-12-07
, the values generated would beAdd23120701
toAdd23120799
.Details
When Serial Number is specified in the Property of a Form component or List's Inline Editor Control, it is triggered by the new save service and used accordingly.
WARNING
When you specify the Sequence Type as Sequential, a warning message is displayed below.(※ When generating serial numbers sequentially, duplicates may occur. Avoid using this in scenarios where serial number generation occurs frequently.)
