Create GUID

The information on this page relates to the new upgraded interface of the IConduct platform. To view information about the Classic version of the user interface, follow this link.

 

The Create GUID algorithm allows you to generate GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers) to identify resources and place them under the target column. Each row under the target column will contain a unique GUID.

 

Here is an example of GUID data generation:

 

Target Column
84264974-b93f-487a-8969-f742772f45d6
1fb19061-4a65-4a82-838a-f6e452ef9212
01a74999-62dc-48c9-b7b5-1036f8d7124b
