Is there a way to have forms create an ongoing numbering field. I want to have my forms numbered automatically when they are filled in by a user.
Any ideas?

Best Answer
All form entries in Cognito Forms are assigned an entry number, which automatically increases and is never reused. This entry number can be included on the confirmation page (Insert Field, Entry - Number) as well as email notifications. You can also reference the entry number in calculations to produce your own unique numbering scheme--just keep in mind that the entry number will not be assigned until the entry is submitted.
