What Friendly Codes Can Be Generated for Appointments or Orders That the Customer Receives (e.g., AG-0245)
In Jestor, the Random ID field lets you build friendly codes, combining a fixed process-related prefix (like "AG" for appointment) with a sequential or random part, in a format the customer will actually recognize.
Why does a friendly code matter in customer communication?
An identifier like "AG-0245" is easier to display, say over the phone, or type than a long technical ID, improving the experience for whoever receives the code.
How to build a friendly code with the Random ID?
| Part of the code | Example |
|---|---|
| Fixed text | "AG" for appointment, "ORD" for order |
| Sequential part | Sequential number or letter |
| Random part | Randomly generated digits to ensure uniqueness |
