FAQ

+-Is it possible for duplicate number to be generated?
 The code has been made thread-safe. We have done bulk record import testing across Dynamics CRM Online (v8.2 and v9.0) as well as on-premise and no duplicate record was created.
+-Does the sequence number always has to be part of the generated Auto-Number?
No, you have the option to generate Auto-Number even with random characters and date time-stamp. Having sequence number in generated auto-number is optional.
+-Can we generate auto-number even for existing records?
Sure, auto-number can be generated even for existing records. Refer knowledge base for instructions.
+-Can we configure auto-numbering for more than one field in an entity?
Yes, auto-number can be configured across multiple fields in an entity.
