Number of the visit form
Once you open a visit form, you will see that the visit form has been given a unique number:
This number cannot be adjusted and is generated automatically by the system. It always consists of the year and the actual number of the form. If you would create a new form in this scenario, then that form will have the number 2018-00003. The numbering systems works in a sequential manner.
