Custom IDs

1. Qbench allows for the configuration of Custom IDs in Fields and Data Types. To do this, first click on Configuration, then Application and finally Fields and Data Types. 
   
   
2. This will open the page for customizing data fields in QBench. You will also see a tab labelled Custom IDs. Click this to start creating custom IDs.
   
   
3. Here, you will be able to set a default prefix for your IDs as well as format for these IDs. A custom ID can be set for Orders, Samples, Sources, Projects or Invoices. A preview for what this will look like is enabled at the top. 
   
   
4. Date Format is selected from a dropdown menu and can include month, year, and date depending on your preference. 
5. Notably, Sample and Invoice have some different settings for IDs. Below is the page for Sample. The item Enable sub-sample incremented ID means that the ID for a sub sample would look like SA2018-2048-01. 
   
   
6. Invoice, on the other hand, has a allows you to add an order number for an invoice, if you so choose. This would come before any prefix that you have enabled.
