Opportunity unique id

[dbeltrami]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if Sugar creates a unique id for every opportunity in the system?

If it does, how is this field accessed/displayed?

If it doesn't, how would I go about creating a field that auto generates an id?

Thanks,
Damian.

set 'auto_increment' attribute to true in vardefs.php of Opptunities module.

 'auto_increment'                => true, 
  

below is the example for unique id, that is auto numbered.

 'number'                                    => array (
    'name'                                    => 'number',
    'vname'                                    => 'LBL_NUMBER',
    'type'                                    => 'int',
    'len'                                        => 10, 
    'duplicate_merge'                => 'disabled',
    'audited'                                => true,
    'auto_increment'                => true,
    'disable_num_format'        => true,
    'massupdate'                        => false,
    'required'                            => true,
    'unified_search'                => true,
),
