Creating a form with an auto_incrementing tracking number

Avatar

Level 1

We need to create a travel authorization form, each of which has a unique number.

What is the best way to go about doing this? The fillable .pdf form will be available on our website. I need to have the form generate a one-up number as the Travel Request No. which is incremented by one from the last request created (I only want a number assigned when the form is completed...we're not (currently) storing the information ENTERED in the form - just need to create a unique number each time the form is completed.)

I'm not completely new at creating forms, but I've never done anything like this, so all help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem. Here the help I

got. Auto Number PO#

I've abondoned the idea of render service. And I didn't want to create a table with all the number stored in.

I finally, used the Concat command to combine the date and seconds, since all I need is a unique number.
