Unique ID
The Unique ID field automatically generates a unique alphanumeric identifier for each record.
This brings immense value by creating persistent keys that consistently identify each record. Even if a record is deleted, its ID will never be duplicated.
Potential uses include:
- Associating external systems to records via unique codes
- Creating audit trails by tracking ID references
- Searching for records easily in the platform via the ID, even if the record name changes
Unique IDs essentially establish immutable "social security numbers" for each record. This permanence and specificity enables powerful integrations, analytics, and identification capabilities.
