Enable automatic ID assignment

By assigning a prefix, the automatic ID assignment enables you to identify the users who created database items. Prefixes in combination with a sequential number are assigned as identifiers and specified for the Identifier attribute. Each user has a prefix. If no individual prefix has been explicitly assigned to users, the standard database prefix is assigned automatically.
