Types of Unique ID’s for Gravity Forms

You can create three types of custom and unique codes for your Gravity Forms Entry:

• Alphanumeric Contains letters and numbers (i.e. gravitywp12z9)
• Numeric Contains only numbers (i.e. 20155512)
• Sequential Contains only numbers and is sequential with previously generated IDs per field (i.e. 1, 2, 3)

Add a prefix or a Suffix to your unique id

In the advanced tab of your Gravity Forms field you can choose several options for your Unique ID:

• Starting Number (in case it’s a Sequential ID) with an option to reset the numbering
• Lenght: how long should the unique ID be?
• Prefix: what should be ‘before’ every ID?
• Suffic: what should be ‘after’ every ID?
