🆔 Custom Unique Identifier
What's this Feature All About?
It automatically assigns a unique identifier which is a combination of both number and string in a custom pattern you have given. Also, auto increments it for the next record.
Assigning a unique identifier to each piece of data or item allows you to organise and manage the identity of records to avoid confusion or repetition of any sort.
Use Case
- Employee IDs, like ABC001, ABC002, ABC003, etc.
- Invoice Number, like ORD0012, ORD0013, etc.
- Student ID, like MAX0123, TED0124, etc.

How to Use This Feature?
You can directly add a Custom Unique Identifier field in a collection later or while creating it.
Custom Pattern
While creating the field, you can choose the pattern of the unique identifier. So, after naming the field, either choose alpha numeric or auto increment as algorithms to set the pattern. And also add some text before and after a string if you want.
