Purpose
The Workplace ID Field is a custom field type that allows users to build and configure their own ID field that can consist of one or many elements, such as an incrementing number to custom date stamps, as well as content from fields in the list. This field can be used as a unique identifier for items in the list and or your application/system.
In addition to this help file, the Building Blocks section of the Community App Store offers a free tool called the Workplace ID Generator. It can be used to unique and distinctive IDs, and the download file includes a Quick Start document that provides information about configuring the Workplace ID Field, element options, and usage scenarios that may trigger some ideas regarding how you can use the Workplace ID.
