Unique Serial Number

  1. HI GV,

    We plan to use Gravity Forms to record submissions for free passes to a fitness club with multiple locations. What we need is the ability to serialize free passes. We did not want the user to see the number until we sent it to them via email. To be specific: how would we concatenate a three digit club name with a unique 8-digit number into a GV form?

    Thank you in advance.

  2. After more hunting, I found the following forum post:

    Does GV have the ability to concatenate the 3-letter club abbreviation + the form's unique ID to create a combined "serial number"?

    It does not have a built-in way to do this, and so you would have to create a customization if you wanted this to happen. To start, you would want to have a field in your form (a hidden one) for the final data, and then create a function to grab the entry ID, and update it with the combined club code and number concatenation. An intermediate level PHP developer should be able to do this for you.
