ID
Overview
The ID component generates a unique identifier for each record automatically. Users cannot edit this field — it is populated when the record is created.
UUID vs incremental
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| UUID | Universally unique random identifier (36 characters) | a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890 |
| Incremental | Auto-incrementing number, optionally with a prefix | ORD-1, ORD-2, ORD-3 |
Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| ID type | UUID or Incremental |
| Prefix | Text prepended to incremental IDs (e.g., "ORD-", "INV-", "TKT-") |
| Placeholder | Display text before a value is generated |
The incremental counter tracks the last used number internally and increments with each new record.
In all views, the ID field displays as read-only text. It is commonly used as the value column in Linked Select components and as a reference in workflows and integrations.
