Adding an Auto-Incrementing Number to a Form

How to add an auto-incrementing number to a form

Auto-incrementing numbers are custom document identifiers that help improve document tracking. These numbers automatically increase when a form is submitted (if the auto-increment field is left blank), when a form is dispatched, or manually by clicking the "Get a Number" icon. You can include as many auto-incrementing numbers on a form as needed—limited only by the number of auto-increment fields you’ve configured.

From the Formatting menu in the Form Designer, click Auto-Incrementing Number.
An auto-incrementing number is added to the form.
Click on it to open the Auto-Incrementing Number input slider.
In the Label field, enter a label for the auto-incrementing number.
Select the column span size for the auto-incrementing number.
Expand Input Options. In the Tooltip field, enter the tip/hint you may want to include for the auto-incrementing number.
Select the auto-incrementing number you want to add to the form. You cannot save a form that doesn’t have an auto-incremented number selected.
Expand Style to specify the style settings for the auto-incrementing number. See Applying Styles to an Input for more information.
Click (Preview) to view how the auto-incrementing number will look in the app. In the following example, an expense number was set up as an auto-incrementing number.
