GUID in CsPro

Post by vipul315singhal »

Hi All,

Do we have a provision of capturing "Globally Unique ID" in the CSPro?
We want a auto generated GUID in our survey.

Thanks & Regards
Vipul

There isn't a function that does that currently. Others have generated unique integer ids for this purpose. To do that you need to keep track of the last issued id number in an external file and then increment it.

This week we added a function, uuid, which will return a GUID as a string. It will be part of CSPro 7.0. Look for a beta version of this to come out in the next few months.

In the meantime, you can use Josh's suggestion.
