Training Create a Sequence

Training: Create a Sequence

What you'll learn: how to create an auto-numbering sequence (for serial numbers, order numbers, and similar) and read its settings. You need: Administrator access type in an application (UI label "Tenant"). Time: 5 minutes.

Before you start

A sequence generates the next number in a series each time it is used — for example SN-00001, SN-00002. Screens, flows, and data models can request the next value. The settings that shape the output:

Setting	Effect	Example
Type	String or Number output	String
Increment	Step between values	1
Prefix / Suffix	Fixed text around the number	SN-
Zero Padding Min	Minimum digit count, left-padded with zeros	5 → 00001

Steps

1. Go to Left menu → App Management → Sequences. (Fallback: header Search → "Sequences".)
2. Click +. Type the Name (e.g. TRAINING Part Serial), pick the Type (String), set Increment 1, Prefix SN-, Zero Padding Min 5 → click the orange +.
3. Click the search button to refresh the table. Your sequence appears with its settings in the row.
4. Click the sequence name to open its detail page. The tabs are DETAILS (edit the settings), SEQUENCE DATA CHANGES (audit history), and SEQUENCE NUMBERS (values issued so far).

Check your work

The table row shows Name, Type, Increment, Prefix, and Zero Padding, and the Sequence Numbers column starts at 0 — no values have been issued yet. The detail page History panel records who created it and when.

Try it yourself

Create a second sequence for work orders: Prefix WO-, Increment 1, Zero Padding Min 6. Then open its SEQUENCE NUMBERS tab — it stays empty until a screen or flow first requests a value.
