An auto-sequenced attribute field is similar to a calculated field. Upon the creation
of a record, EnterWorks's auto-generate sequence feature will automatically generate a
unique value for the auto-sequenced attribute field. Each repository profile may have one
attribute that is defined as auto-sequencing; typically this would be its primary key or an
item number. At the time of record creation, the user may be allowed to enter the value of
an auto-sequenced field (depending on the configuration of EnterWorks). When the record is
saved for the first time, if the user is allowed to set a value for that field, its value
will be saved. If not, EnterWorks will generate the field value based upon the next number
in the sequence and any configured rules. Once the new record is saved, unless EnterWorks is
configured differently, the value of the auto-sequenced field cannot be changed.
