    What info, if any, can be extracted from the form_record_id field? For example, what does this ID tell me:

    95802AC9-FFDA-4923-8B59-F0CBD7820807

    Thanks!

    Hi Carol,

    Other than which record this ID represents, there’s nothing that can be determined by that ID. This is known as a GUID, which stands for Globally Unique ID. That means that no two of those strings will ever be the same. It’s used to make it possible to sync your data so that no two records or objects in the database could possibly have the same ID.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Thanks! Is there a way to determine the date when a record was added?

    Hi Carol,

    Sure. You can add the Date Created field type to any form and that’ll show you when that record was created.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
