ID Formats
In Cakedesk, every client, invoice and proposal has a unique ID.
You can change the format of these IDs under Settings for Clients, Invoices and Proposals.
#Built-In ID Formats
The following ID formats are built-in:
Name | Example | Syntax |
---|---|---|
Year-based | 2023-001 | {yyyy}-{###,y} |
Month-based | 2023-06-01 | {yy}-{mm}-{##,m} |
Client-based (invoices/proposals only) | 1679527124-001 | {clientId}-{###,c} |
Counter (3 digits) | 001 | {###} |
Counter (6 digits) | 000001 | {######} |

#Custom ID-Formats
You can also create completely custom ID formats by using one or more placeholders.
Always make sure to include some kind of counter, otherwise Cakedesk can't autogenerate unique IDs.
