The Autogenerated field in Engine Awesome is a useful tool for automatically generating sequential numbers with optional prefixes and postfixes. This field is commonly used in situations where you need unique identifiers, such as:
- Invoice numbers: Automatically generate unique invoice IDs (e.g., “INV-1”, “INV-2”).
- Order numbers: Add a sequence to track orders (e.g., “ORDER-001”, “ORDER-002”).
- Customer IDs: Create customer identifiers (e.g., “CUST-100”, “CUST-101”).
Settings:
- Starting Number: Set the initial sequence number, default is 1.
- Prefix: Add text before the number (e.g., “INV-“).
- Postfix: Add text after the number (e.g., “-USA”).
