Generate Unique Form IDs When Multiple Users Submit an eForm

Good to Know

• If a form user starts a new instance of an eForm, and then cancels it without submitting the form, the sequence number created for the eForm instance becomes unusable. The next time an eForm instance is created, a new sequence number is created.
• When a runtime app user opens the eForm, a unique ID is generated and bound to the control. This unique ID is different for each user who submits the form. You can use this unique ID for various purposes, such as tracking form submissions or generating unique request numbers.
