Creating Unique GUIDs for Table Rows: Best Methods and Practices
Hi Team, I'm trying to create a unique guid for each row in a table. Whats the best way to do that?
You have a couple of options to handle unique identifiers for your rows: 1. Use Auto-dedupe with a specific column: • Enable automatic deduplication from the Auto-dedupe icon at the bottom right of your table • Select a column that contains unique values to serve as your identifier • This will maintain uniqueness based on that column 2. For Salesforce data specifically: • You can select specific "Uniqueness Fields" to use as unique identifiers • If no unique identifier is selected, the entire row will be used as the identifier (though this may cause duplicates)If you need a more specific solution for generating GUIDs, you may want to request help from our support team for guidance on custom implementations.
