Example of generating serial numbers using the database counter
This sample form shows how the function of the serial-number plugin (only available for FC version 6.x.x) can be recreated using a simple counter (standard function for FC version 7.x.x).
This must be created beforehand (see help). When creating a start value can be set, whereby the number of digits can be configured.
The "Seriennummer" counter is incremented by 1 using the "change counter" workflow action after the form has been sent.
You will then be redirected to your process. The generated serial number now appears in the following field.
Serial number (will be filled in after the button has been clicked)
If the serial number is not to be seen on the form, the tfSerialNumber field can also be hidden or a form variable can be created instead.
