How to Add Custom Unique IDs to your Form Submissions?

I love the number system but is there a way it can be shown after each person submits? For example, if I have 200 people filling this application. The first person to finish it will get a 0000 number and the next person 0001 and so on. I would like for JotForm to automatically generate the numbers for each person that fills out the form I'm creating.

Como hago el campo visible? ya que en avanzado no muestra la opcion.

We have issued unique booking references to customers and would like them to include them on their form submission to avoid duplications. Is this possible, or is it only possible to restrict further submissions by cookie and IP address detail?

I find the unique ID widget very disappointing. I cannot put the unique ID on my PDFs. I cannot use it as a unique identifier for Save&Continue. I cannot feed it into another field and then pipe that field onto other forms.

For us - we are trying to send JotForm documents to Docusign for legal signature. A unique ID would be very helpful for matching the docusign output to the Jotform PDF output. but we cannot do this. Is there any other way to create a completely unique ID so that forms do not get mixed up?

CAN WE ARRANGE UNIQUE ID AS PER FIELD OPTION IN IT

I have converted the jotform from the pdf fillable form, however, when I creat a unique ID onto the jotform, it will not link to the original PDF form. is there a wasy to do it?

Is there a way to have the unique ID go up when someone does an edit to their original submission and then submits the form again? I need a way to have the "edits" become a unique form entry. Thanks!

I created the Unique ID and still get an error message that says "Order ID is missing from the form submission" via mobile submission. I do not get an error message via laptop. Help! What am I doing wrong?

My form's unique ID increments such as 3 to 5 to 7 to 9.. etc
is there any way to change this back to incrementing from just by 1?

Unique ID doesn't appear for me either like NJEnrollment said back in Janurary. I'm not sure why it doesn't show up under Widgets

If i have 'n' unique fields in a form depending on the 'n' number of tickets chosen by the one who is registering can i increment the starting value for the subsequent unique fields

Serial numbers are great. But what we really need is a hash code that can't easily be guessed. For instance, a unique hash based on date and time and user input details, and that the user receives as a unique code to request some information etc in the future.

I had considered a code based on date/time and user email, for instance, but that would be pretty guessable. Even if I create an algorithm in the background that performs multiplications and substitutions that can still be decrypted.

Random numbers don't help: there's a chance to entries get the same number.

An MD5 hash or something in those lines would be awesome.

Is there any way to have the unique ID show on the form that is emailed to the submitter?

Thanks!

Brilliant!
Thanks

I can no longer find this widget as an option in the form elements.

Thanks - that was very helpful!

Cheers

Hello - is there a way to change the unique ID based on an answer to a form questions? For instance if some one chooses 6th grade I would like the number to start with a 6, etc.
Thanks!

Thankyou was really helpful

is there a way to put the unique id number added to the spreadsheet attached to the form.

Is there a way to show this number to he customer on screen at time of submitting ?

Is there a way to only have the Unique ID increment if a certain criteria is met instead of always incrementing on every submission? Thanks!

Is there a way to install this plugin and attribute an ID even to the ancient submission or does it only starts with the submissions after the plugin is installed?

Alguien sabe porque no me aparece visible el campo de Unique ID en mi formulario.? lo agrego y veo que todo esta bien.. pero no lo logro hacer visible al momento de nuevos envios.

how do i let users of the form see the unique id on the form as well as i do on the submission page

Hi,

Great info. I learned a lot of things.


Thanks

Thanks for posting useful info

There is an option to be visible on the form or read-only ?

Might it be possible for this number to show in the "Thank you" message pop-up after a form is submitted? This could be useful for clients, so that they can refer back to their form number when submitting further inquiries.

What is the html code that I should use (in the source code) in order to make the unique ID show up on the form? I have been able to make it show up, but then it was not unique, it was the same number every time, while the numbers that I received by email were increasing.

I want the customer to see the unique ID and then use it as an order number in the communication with me.
So, they need to see the unique ID and I need to receive it in my email so I can connect the details that were filled out in the form with the customer that is contacting me (or depositing me money in my account)

Please give the solution to my question. I would be greatly appreciate if you reply asap.

Thank you
ajaypal

can we add in the date to the unique ID? For example.

Unique ID - DATE - {User input capture from a text box in the form}

Brilliant that you

Is there a way to change the prefix based on a required field answer? For example, our Product Category field has nine possible answers and we would like to use a 2-digit prefix based on which Product Category is selected.
Or would it be easier to assign the 2-digit code to a new field based on the Category selection and append the Unique ID, thus creating a third field?

Is there a way of using the Unique ID in a calculation and a way of showing the Unique ID on the form?

Só pode acrescentar 1 deses IDs, gostaria muito que você desenvolvese um comparador de numeros e letrar com traços como se fosse uma chave serial de tivação do tipo:

EDR-GDT-OPI-FGR (em letras)
e
123-4322-546-768 (em números)
ou
RT4-TE3-GH6-43J-43K (em letras e números)

por favor crie um com esses aspectos

Hi, I wanna see the unique ID when I'm filling my form, after I use the source code I cant modify directly in the same field, I copied all the code in notepad and modified, but now how can I put in my JoitForm to see the unique ID. In another hand, can I use the Unique ID to search the form and add informtion?

Is there any way that a Unique ID could have an option to not be hidden during the form submission? I can always look it up when I'm done, but this would save me time in some cases when I'm using a form for internal use within my company only.

when I try to add a unique ID I get this message You cannot add more than one Unique ID. Please delete the existing one first. but I cannot find the existing field and it is not showing up as an option in grid reports

I am using the last 4 digits of the provided phone field as the Unique ID. So far, the user needs to imput the last 4 digits in a separate field. Would it be possible to have an hidden field with a code to collect the last 4 digits of the provided phone number? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to display this field on the form?

I would think i might look like this: 10000-1, 10000-2, 10000-3
Thanks for your help

Hi, I have a question, I placed a unique ID on my form and I understand that it is sequential. However, when I checked the submissions, I found out that the Unique ID skipped No. 7, so now I have 1-6, then 8. How do I go about this? Thanks!

Hey Wayne,

Thanks for getting back to me. Nice homework in researching my e-mail domain, unfortunately I am creating these forms for a different domain and am not sure that your solution will work and I'm still trying to figure out the workflow.

I think I can describe hopefully a more "doable" situation for what I need and would love your guidance and help.

1. Restaurant selects their Restaurant Name and/or Review Event Date from a drop down and then enters their e-mail to receive the password for the Response Form. (I guess a separate Submit form needs to be created)

2. An e-mail is then sent to them from the Submit form with info on how to open the Restaurant Response form.

3. On my website I would like them to enter the password received AND/or the Unique ID which would then bring up BOTH the completed Review Form and the Restaurant Response Form. (ultimate wish is to present both the completed Review Form & Restaurant Response Form side-by-side) This would allow them to respond to what was actually reviewed without having to flip back & forth between either two web pages or their e-mail & the Response Form.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, along with simple (very simple please) step-by-step instructions!

THX Again!
Jerry

Question concerning the Unique ID?

1. I have created a review form with a Unique ID.
2. I have created a Response form for the "Reviewee" to respond to the inital review.
3. I would like to "link" or somehow attach the Response Form to the initial Review so that the Responder can see what they are responding to while completing their Response form. Hopefully you can follow that!

Please be gentle, I did search the forum for a similar question/answer but did not find one or did NOT understand if I did find it!

Thx for your help!

Great feature! Could you possibly add a feature to allow each ID to be randomly generated (of a length determined by the user) instead of always being consecutive numbers increasing by one?
