  2. HI Vivek,

    This is possible via custom code and Gravity Forms hooks. This thread shows you how do this with a unique ID (not an auto increment):

    http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/guid-entry-id

    An auto-increment id would be similar but instead of checking for the unique ID, you'd check for the last submitted registration ID and then just add one. One other thing important thing to note is that this (and the provided example) should actually be run from the gform_post_submission hook to prevent the same id from being submitted by multiple users.

    If you are not familiar with PHP, you might want to hire a developer to lend you some assistance.
