Unique Field

This field works as a unique key to the List. The list item is identified based on the unique key. Every list can have a unique key defined, based on which the list item is identified. Given a scenario where the user creates an Order List with Order Type, Order Category, and Order ID fields. Since the Order ID is the uniquely identifiable key for this list, it becomes the unique key.

In addition, the user can assign multiple fields to a unique key. For example, in an 'Employee List' which has First Name, Last Name, Address, Age etc., the user can assign the First Name and the Last Name as the Unique Key for this list item.

Note that the user is not restricted to use only string values (first name and last name are a part of the type string). The user may use different combinations of Integer, String fields and date fields etc. For example, the user can use Age and Date of Birth or Address and Telephone number as a Unique Key. Unique Key can be defined to a maximum limit of five fields in a list.

Note: Unique key can be defined only in a parent table.
