| Name | Description | Screens (Click to view) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ID | Form field id. Only alpha-numeric and underscore characters allowed. Mandatory field. If you use "id", the form will save with the "id" primary key in running sequence. Joget will not create the "id" in UUID format. | |||||
| Label | Key in the label of this field.Mandatory field. | |||||
| Environment Variable Name | Name of the environment variable to be used to store the running number. Joget will automatically create the environment variable in Properties & Export if the name does not exist. Only letters (a-z and A-Z), numbers (0-9) and underscore (_) are allowed in the Environment Variable Name field. Do ensure your Environment Variable Names are unique for each form in your app (meaning for each form that is mapped to a different database table name). If you are using the ID Generator Field as "id", meaning it is a primary key value, be careful not to override the environment variable value when inporting apps: do not click the "Show Advanced Options > Override environment variables" checkbox in Import App screen. | |||||
| Format | Determines the pattern of the generated value (e.g., "REF-?????" will yield "REF-00001"). | |||||
| Hidden | Click the checkbox to hide this field in the form. | |||||
| Workflow Variable | The value generated can be saved into the corresponding workflow variable named here.
