What information is contained in GUID ?

Hello Community !

I am using gs.generateGUID() to generate id's. Which seems to be a uuid implementation. Some concern has been voiced at my company these id's must be random. That is, not containing *any* data such as time stamps, mac addresses, ... Because these id's might be shared in public.

Is there such content in these generated id's ?

Thx !

Hi,

gs.generateGUID doesnt seem to be documented anywhere but take a look at sys_id docs page below

Unique record identifier (sys_id)
