Re: Create auto-number for new contacts

When Maximizer is set to "System to assign Address Book entries' IDentification field values" (the default), Maximizer already creates a primary key for you. It is the combination of [Client_Id] and [Contact_Number], where

- Companies and Individuals are assigned a unique [Client_Id] and their [Contact_Number] is 0

- Contacts are assigned the [Client_Id] of their parent record (Company or Individual) and a [Contact_Number] of 1, 2, 3, ....

System-assigned [Client_Id] values look like this:

090420252157153440001C

You cannot alter the format.

Create auto-number for new contacts

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a customer number (an auto-number or primary key) for each customer as a reocrd is created? Is it possible to specify the format of this number?

Thanks,

Derek
