Generate Reference ID

Introduction

In Joget, you can generate unique reference IDs for forms using the ID Generator Field. This feature allows you to automatically create running numbers or unique identifiers for each new form submission, ensuring consistency and automation in form data tracking.

How does it work?

You can specify the name of an existing App variable to be used as the number to be incremented everytime a new form is created. If the App variable that you specify does not exist, Joget will automatically create a new one for you. You may check the current value of the counter you specified in your app's properties tab.

Every time the form is submitted, the element will generate the next running number from the App variable you specified and will place it into the field's value. You may also write the value into a workflow variable.
