Auto-Generate an Employee ID

Enabling auto-generation of employee IDs allows Lattice to create unique IDs for employees instead of admins manually assigning employee IDs. 

Before you start

• If auto-generation is enabled, the employee ID field within the CSV upload is not needed. 
• This feature can be enabled when no employees have been uploaded to your Lattice account or if all pending and active employees have an employee ID added. Auto-generated employee IDs can only be enabled once all existing employees have been assigned an ID value.
• Once an employee ID is generated, it cannot be edited.

Enable Auto-Generated Employee IDs

1. Navigate to Admin > Settings. 
2. Select Company > Settings.
3. Scroll down to the Employee ID section and toggle on Employee ID.
4. Select Save. 
5. Navigate back to the Employee ID section and input a value in the Next generated ID field.
   
   Note: Letters or leading zeros (Ex. 0001) are not supported for auto-generation.
