One of the Gravity Perks plugins offered by Gravity Wiz, Unique ID’s for Gravity Forms does just what it says. It allows you to add one or more fields to a gravity form with a unique (to that form) group of characters and\/or numbers formatted with your choice of prefix and suffix. Click here for full documentation<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only can you add a set prefix\/suffix (eg, ‘INV’ or ‘Application#’) you can choose alphanumeric, numeric, sequential numbering (or random), start number, length etc. There are literally thousands of ways this Perk can be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GravWorks suggests you consider the following additional uses for this Perk.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Member Number<\/h3>\n

Giving each new user a unique ‘Member Number (M#)’ can be very useful. When a user submits a GravityForms form their UserID is stored as part of that record. This is useful to control future viewing or editing of that record, as well as a history of activity. But there are times when you might want to change ownership of a record, or grant access to edit the record to another user (other than the record owner).<\/p>\n

Why?<\/h3>\n

Giving each GravityForms Form a unique identifying number also makes sense and provides a great deal of functionality. Not only does this keep a relationship and hierarchy record, but it will simplify future actions of the full records (perhaps you want to change control of a company to a new user).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
