Unique IDs & filtering by day of month

Unique IDs & filtering by day of month

Comments

  • I have two questions:
    1. let say I want to have table contain id, name, and for id, I want to build this as auto-increment number generated from a 6 digit number so

    how to make column id as unique and auto-increment for a 6 digit number?
    sample 111111,111112,111113 and etc for every object created
    2. I have a scenario where I need to make payroll for every month depending on the chosen date
    For example, how would I filter items based on this chosen date if it were the 25th of any month?

  • Decisions has at least two ways to handle the generation of unique six-digit numbers. The first and simplest way to create an ID Generation Key, which can be used to get the next number in series within your flows. You can create a subflow with a Get Next ID step to populate the field in your data structure for the new ID use inputs from the flow itself to populate the rest of the necessary data for the entity. This flow can be placed in any other flow as a step to ensure that whenever an object of your data structures type is created, the next ID from your ID Generation Key is used to populate your custom ID field. Flow Execution Extensions are also capable of this, however, they have a Unique Process ID instead.

Each DateTime value in Decisions has a subset of properties from the DateTime including Day which is an integer value. I have attached two screenshots showing how this might be configured in a flow.
