[Aswartha]

Hi Everyone,

 i have created one field(number) in Catalog form.

now my requirement is, to make that field Auto Incremented field Just like Incident number field in Incident Table.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, you can't use the auto number for this. Because there can only be one auto number on a table. So you need to setup this manually.

What kinda auto number is it? Should it already be populated on display? Or just on save? Are missing numbers allowed or should there now gaps between the numbers? Etcetera.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

So did you try setting up a auto number? Or is your question that you are unaware of how this works?

If you go to the table, under section "Controls" select "Auto-number".

On save, automatically a Number column will be created.

When opening new records, the auto-number will be applied. On existing records, obviously you have to decide yourself if you are updating the data or not.
