plance Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hello, Can anyone tell me how to basically customize the number of digits possible on a random unique id for Human use? For example, right now the lowest amount of digits AFTER a prefix is set to 8. I need it to be the prefix... and then only FOUR digits ... So final result would be 12-1-1234 ( 12-1- is the prefix ) Thank you in advance, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plance Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 After further research, Caspio doesn't have a Unique Random ID for less than 8 digits set up. As a work around --- I have created another field on my primary table that took care of my issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fangjie Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You can check this article: http://howto.caspio.com/datapages/form- ... value.html In the Field Options, you can choose "Random Unique ID" as AutoValue Type from dropdown field. Random Unique ID can be for Human Use which assigns ID prefix, length, and complexity; or for Application Use which generates 128-bit GUID value. The length of human use ID is from 6 to 12.
