1. What is a Serial Number

A Serial Number is a unique number each form receives after being submitted. It works as an identifier and it's assigned sequentially, using numbers in ascendant order. This unique identifier helps you to organise the submitted forms.

Once you have logged into the MoreApp Platform you can already see the serial number at the Submissions tab. Moreover, you have the option of adding it into your email or PDF report. 

How can you use the serial number? We explain the different options in this Help Center post!

2. Submissions tab

MoreApp always assigns a unique number to all the forms submitted. If you want to check the serial number of a specific submission, click on the eye icon of that submission.

 

The Submission Details will appear. Then, scroll down to check the serial number. 

 

In the Submissions tab you can also see the serial number, easily, if you click Select Columns and check the Serial number column.

 

3. Excel Export

Under the Submissions tab, you can find the Export option!

 

Once you have exported your data to Excel, you’ll see a column with the serial number for all your submissions.

 

4. Email

You can set up a more complete email by adding the serial number. To do so, click on the thunder icon to open the placeholders drop-down menu and select Serial number (under Variables).

You can place it wherever you want in the email body. Also, if you want to be more specific, add the placeholder into the email subject and the PDF file name.

5. PDF

This feature is available in the Branch, Tree and Forest plans.

If you open the option to customise the PDF with HTML, the code view of the report will appear.

If you want to add the serial number, add the next HTML code on the position in the PDF where you want to add the serial number.

<tr><br><td class="more-field-label">Serial Number</td><br><td>${meta.serialNumber}</td><br></tr>

Now, close the code view and click on Publish

 

After doing a submission, the serial number will appear on your PDF!

 

Note: If you want to add the serial number to a Word report, use ${meta.serialNumber}.
