Hi All - just about to start building! But just want to ensure that I can create a sequential numbering system. When I (or user) creates a record, I need to apply a unique and sequential ID number (not a user number) for the record. Is that possible?
When creating the record you could have the ID as (record collection -> count)+1. So if there are 20 records already in the collection, the ID will be saved as 21.

Hi @scoop,
The advice of @theadaloguy is the easiest one.
Please note, that for this case you need to be absolutely sure that no any record is deleted from the collection; otherwise the numbering will go wrong.
Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to replace “Count” with ID->Maximum:
If you have an ID as Number, and upon creation put ID->Maximum+1 at the new record, then deleting old records shouldn’t affect the sequence.
Best,
Victor.
