Hi,
I am trying to have a simple sequential numbering scheme for cases.
I have tried parent and child, where the parent keeps the number and then
the child reads this. This is fine when there is only one person collecting
data, as soon as multiple people start collecting, the numbering goes awry.
Is there a way to create a sequential number for all cases?
Much Thanks in Advance
Tim
Hi Tim,
Unfortunately this is not really possible. One possible workaround is to
prepend the number with something from the user's profile using custom user
data https://help.commcarehq.org/display/commcarepublic/Custom+User+Data.
It won't be an integer but you might be able to setup a human-readable ID
that is mostly unique.

Thanks Cory,
this has been in my head for weeks - at least I know now. I will use date
and time instead.
