Posted on by Moonie

Hi, I have an app that creates processes, but the last portion appears to be generated randomly (see font in red below). Is there a way to set it at a sequential number? For example starting at 2021-000001, then 2021-000002

So from:

dynamics.com/main.aspx6472d264-a1f6-ea11-a813-002dd801892c

To:

dynamics.com/main.aspx2021-000001

To make all things shorter - it's not customizable.

Hi,

This is not any random number, this is the record GUID which is different for different records, for example if you open two different process then the GUID will be different for the two records and the URL end part will be different .

Hello,

That "random" part is not so random - this is the primary key field (Id if you would) of the record and it is the Guid that has the exact format that you mentioned.
