Post Author: Joe D365 |

Easily insert random numbers, or letters, dates or times in any field of any entity in CRM automatically. Use a combination of numbers, letters and dates in your fields, and have the ability to number more than one field in each entity. Random numbers are also guaranteed to be unique.

It is easy to add a constant to the auto-number. It can be placed: before, after, or within the auto-number. Once the correct format has been chosen for the auto-number, simply add the constant to the appropriate place in the format field.
