Item ID Column Customise & Row Question

Platform discussions

Hi everyone.
I have quite fortunatly stumbled into Monday CRM when looking for a client management platform.
I’ve been pleased with Monday so far and have been able to adapt it quite well to my needs but I am foxed on one small issue. I am hoping someone here knows the answer as I have been unable to locate any support docs.
I have used the item ID column as a client ID to allocate a case number. It auo generates this and records it just fine and seems to suit that purpose.
BUT… It is a 10 digit string of numbers which is a bit long for what I need. I was hoping that it can be edited to say five number and maybe even have a letter start (although not vital).
Has anyone done this? Can it be done?

One other quick question as well, I am assuming that all the data that is shown across a row is locked to that row? It can’t be messed up by a random sort if accidently clicked. Had a nasty data mix up experience with an excel spreadsheet one!!

Regards
Dave

hi @PhoenixFS

Welcome to the community! The itemId itself can’t be changed, itemId’s are world wide unique and therefore it’s a long number. You can create your own ID with an app called Auto ID Column, but that will write a customizable ID to another column (not the itemID column). Hope that helps.

Unique world wide! OK, hadn’t appriciated that. Not really necessary for us so will look at that app thank you.
