Is it possible to auto increment a number in share point list ?

hello,
is it possible to generate an auto increment field in share point list?
for example, there are two fields [auto increment id] and [title]
lets say i create title as 'Steve' ; it will automate auto increment field with value 1
next , i insert title 'Paul' it ll populate the auto increment field with value 2.
thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
You can use the Item Id field of the SharePoint list which will get incremented by 1 whenever you add the new item.
you can refer the below threads for other options of auto increment id

How to auto increment a NUMBER(10) datatype

Anyone know the syntax on how to auto increment a number field every time a new row comes in?
TIA
CREATE TABLE loc_color_group_values(
     ID number(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, <----------------
     COLOR_CODE_ID number(10) default 0,
     PROD_LOC_ID number(10) default 0,
     COLOR_GROUP_CODE_ID number(10) default 0,
     PRIMARY KEY(ID)
);

Here is an example:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "EXAMPLE_TRIG" BEFORE
INSERT ON "loc_color_group_values" FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
IF :NEW.id IS NULL THEN
    SELECT loc_color_group_values_seq.nextval INTO :NEW.id FROM dual ;
END IF;
END ;This allows you to overide the sequence without having to disable the trigger.

Hi   Is it possible to divert a single number on my contact list without diverting all calls iphone 3gs 32. Thanks

Hi   Is it possible to divert a single number on my contact list without diverting all calls?? iphone 3gs 32.
Thanks
Andy.

Do you mean forward one number only? If that's what you want then no, you cannot. You can use call forwarding to forward all calls, but not selected contacts only. I'd add that would be a function of the carrier to, as when you activate call forwarding it sets the switch on your account with the carrier, and their hardware handles the call forwarding (i.e. the phone itself has nothing to do with actually forwarding calls or not - it is the carriers equipment that manages that - all the phone can do is tell the carriers system to forward calls, or not).

Auto-increment receipt number?

Hi,
I'm trying to increment a single number, and not having much luck. Here's what I'm doing:
My tennis club needs to print about three hundred receipts. I've designed a master page in Indesign CS4. On that master page, in landscape format, I have eight identical receipts arranged in a 2 x 4 arrangement (so as to be able to print eight receipts on one page).
On each receipt, I have a single "receipt number" which I'd like to automatically increment on each receipt: "0000001", "0000002", "0000003", etc. So, ideally, I'd be able to simply set up the auto-increment, apply the master page to about 30 pages or so, and the last receipt on the last page would be numbered at "0000300".
However, I'm not entirely sure how to do this. Do I use a text variable of some sort? I tried going to that, but nothing I tried worked.
Thanks!

This is discussed fairly regularly. Solutions range from creating a one-receipt-per-page document in which you use an automatic page number, and then place that file inito a new N-up layout, to Data Merge, to simply placing a number list saved as a text file.
I've used both of the last two and find them pretty easy. I'm fond of the Data Merge approach because it allows me to very easily arrange the numbers on the sheets so they are printed in stacks and don't need to be sorted after cutting. You can do that in a palin text file, too, but I find it less intuitive.
For doing that with Data Merge I set up a spread sheet with X columns and Y rows. X is the number of tickets or receipts on a single page, Y is the number of sheets required to print all the numbers. I start by filling the first three cells in the first column reading down in consecutive order, then use auto fill to complete the column. Repeat for the next two columns, then you can use auto-fill to complete all the rows. Add a new row at the top for field names for Data Merge and export as comma separated text.
Put the placeholders for all the receipts on the page and do a single-record-per-page merge.

Auto-Increment ID for the Sharepoint 2010 List

Hi,
I have a requirement to have a SharePoint List with set of fields. One of the field should store the Custom ID field Ex: "2015-001". Numbers should auto increment the values i.e 011, 002 and so on.
Can someone help me to achieve this requirement via Out-of-box.
I tried using [ID] field and tried concatenating to bring up the value as "2015-001" but it didn't work and I read that [ID] field does not work as expected with the calculated column.
I am aware there SP Designer workflow solution, JavaScript solution, List Adding Event Receiver solutions are available. I trying to find if there is any out-of-Box solution available.
Share your thoughts/suggestion on this requirement

Thanks Alex.
We have used Infopath and we were able to achieve the Auto Increment requirement.
There is another requirement:
Created By and Created should be stamped together in the list. Ex: Field Name: Audit Trails - XXX,03/06/16/15, 05:08PM.
I tried creating a field and used formula to concatenate Created By and Created field...but, When I Submit the form in Sharepoint List, Audit Trail Field is empty.
I tried Submit/Receive data etc..but no luck
Any Suggestions or thoughts?

Auto increment version number

I want my program to be able to display a version number which is incremented automatically on every new build. Is there any way I can do this in Eclipse 3.2.1?

It's not an Eclipse question it's a Java question, I just wanted to know whether there was some way of automating this through Eclipse as that is the IDE I'm using at the moment.

Sequence file Version number. How to prevent the automatic resetting build version number whilst auto-incrementing revision number?

Hi,
I've got my environment set this way that each save of the sequence file increase the revision part of version number. However, during that increase the build counter is reset to 0. How to prevent it?
TS 4.2

Mimi,
It is pretty common practice in software revisioning to reset a minor number to 0 when a major moves up 1. There are many different schemes out there. If you google or bing software versioning schemes you'll see what I'm talking about.
So looking at it from left to right: Major.Minor.Revision.Build = 0.0.0.1
if you change the Revision it would be expected that anything to the right (in this case Build) would reset to 0. 0.0.1.0!
Let's say your version is 8.34.56.23. It would make sense that if you were to change the Major number (which means a Major release) to 9 then your version would go to: 9.0.0.0.
A version number is just a unique way to tell someone which specific software you are using so it really doesn't matter that it resets to 0. Although it makes sense because if you kept your build number sequential and didn't reset it then it would get outrageously larger which would be more annoying than anything.
Again this is common accepted practice in industry.
Good Luck,

How could you auto-increment a number in a select

i have some select sentences that i think i could do in one line:
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0001)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0001 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0002)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0002 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0003)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0003 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0004)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0004 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0005)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0005 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0006)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0006 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0007)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0007 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0008)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0008 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0009)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0009 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
UPDATE RECIBO SET RECARGO = (SELECT FLOOR((SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE , (SELECT F_EMISION FROM RECIBO WHERE N_RECIBO = 0010)) / 12 FROM DUAL)) FROM DUAL) WHERE N_RECIBO = 0010 AND F_PAGADO IS NULL;
note that only the number changes. i would need it to go through EVERY row from table "RECIBO". please, some idea? thanks!

Is it possible to debug step by step for share point designer workflow in share point 2010

Hi all,<o:p></o:p>
I have created a reminder date work flow but it is not working .In this work flow it need to be check first its status if its status is suspend then only workflow can run .I am
attaching below workflow logic check if any modifications needed please suggest me . And I have doubt is it possible to check step by step debugging like in coding we are using break point in this way any break point is available for designer workflows
? If break point is available please guide me how to get and use those<o:p></o:p>
Thanking you,<o:p></o:p>
ArunDarly
<o:p>Workflow logic given below</o:p>

You can't step through a SharePoint Designer Workflow. The normal workaround is to Log messages to the History list with the values you want to look at where you would normally put breakpoints. Then run the workflow and examine the history
list to see how the values changed as you went through your workflow.

Now I want few things to be implemented on our invoice.
When ever I open our invoice, it populate the first entry from DB, Is it possible to populate the last entry ?

As far as I know there is not any auto increment data type in Oracle. Instead of this you should create a sequence and get the next value of the sequence while creating a row in your table.
CREATE SEQUENCE Test_Sequence ;
CREATE TABLE Test_Table ( Id NUMBER , Foo VARCHAR2(4) ) ;
ALTER TABLE Test_Table ADD CONSTRAINT Test_Table_PK_Id PRIMARY KEY ( Id ) ;
INSERT INTO Test_Table ( Id , Information ) VALUES ( Test_Sequence.NEXTVAL , 'FOO' ) ;

Auto Increment Sequence Custom Field

Hi All,
I was wondering if it is possible
to have a custom field defined as an auto incrementing sequence number? E.g. Let’s say I go in and create a project for the first time, this field will show the value 1. The next project I go to create, the field shows the value 2 etc. etc.
If possible, how can this be implemented using customization? Can it be done in Project Online? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

Hi JSimoni1,
You can generate a project unique ID using a webpart, even with Project Online.
Please find below the procedure in EpmExpert blog:
http://epmxperts.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/generate-unique-id-for-project-using-a-webpart/
Note that the code might need some adjustments to stick to your business need.
Hope this helps,

Regarding auto increment

how can i auto increment the number in my table while inserting the data

Good point. If any error occurs during insertion -
the sequence will be broken. Bucause, even if your
transaction failed sequence will generate the new
sequence number. But, as a result of that error -
insertion won't be taken into place. Thus, break your
continous chain.It is probably good point (depending on requirements) irregardless of that.
Sequences ARE NOT for CONTINUOUS number generation.
Sequences ARE for UNIQUE number generation.
Continous chain will break also at least rollback (always) and DB restart as well (unless you haven't specified sequence as nocache which generally is silly idea).

Auto increment variable in foreach loop in ssis

i know this has been asked N number of times, but still i have a question for you guys
i have files sitting in FTP location
i am loading the data from the files into tables (no issues)
but i need to assign value to a particular column as -99999999 and then auto increment that number while loading the files into the database
I cannot have auto increment for the that particular column
should i use a derived column, script component, execute sql task?
can somebody point me to the right direction
if it were a single file, assigning the auto incremental number is easy, but with for each loop, i am not able to get the solution
Thanks

Hi Jack,
To achieve your goal, you can use a Row Count Transformation in the Data Flow Task to get row count for each file, and then use an Execute SQL Task after the Data Flow Task to update the total row count variable. Supposing the variable used in the Row Count
Transformation is InsertCount, the variable used to store the total row count is TotalInsertCount. We need to set the ResultSet of the Execute SQL Task to “Single row”, and the SQLStatement to:
DECLARE @Insert_Count INT, @Total_Insert_Count INT
SET @Insert_Count=?
SET @Total_Insert_Count=?
SET @Total_Insert_Count=@Total_Insert_Count + @Insert_Count
SELECT R_Total_Insert_Count=@Total_Insert_Count
Then, set the Parameter Mapping of the Execute SQL Task, we map variable InsertCount and TotalInsertCount to the parameters in the SQL statement respectively. In the ResultSet page of the Execute SQL Task, map the resultset to variable TotalInsertCount.
