Sequential Numbering of Registered Cases

​Hello,
Can someone help me in creating Sequential number for all cases a mobile
worker register during registration? For instance, at a clinic, when a new
patient comes, upon registration, the system should be able to assign a
unique sequential number to each patient.

Thank you in advanced
Yaw

Hi Yaw,

Hi Will,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, my issue is to do with
Registration of Cases not in Follow up forms. In fact, I tried this very
function and it did not work before calling for help.

In short want I want to automatically create and assign unique Patient
Number as soon as a Patient is registered for the first time​. Something
like Auto Increment in Microsoft Access.

A new patient comes to the clinic and we are going to create a folder for
this patient. We need, the Name, Date of Birth, Sex, Residential Address,
Telephone Number, and *Folder/Patient Number. *

The patient will provide all except the Patient Number and that is want I
want to create automatically anytime a new patient comes.

If there is any other way that anyone can suggest, I shall really
appreciate it.

Hi Yaw. In order to achieve exactly what you're describing, you'll need to
combine the strategy that Will linked to with User as a case
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/User+Case, in that
the case property for the incrementing counter needs to be a property of
the user case, rather than an individual case, so that it is always
accessible to that user in a registration form. Note that the User Case
feature requires having a Standard Plan or higher.
