A Unique ID is a unique identifier used to differentiate different sessions of an inspection. An example of a Unique ID is a serial number that is assigned to individual products that are the same make and model.
In GainSeeker, the Unique ID is used to create a unique record for a specific item and the data and information that is uniquely associated with it.

This image shows the page in PC Collect in which the Unique ID has been relabeled "Serial number." See Changing the label for more information.
You can change the label for an inspection from "Unique ID" to something better suited to your organization: "Serial number" or "Lot number" for example. Changing it to something more closely related to your product can give the inspector a clearer idea of to what the Unique ID refers.
Information about changing the IDLabel property for the Inspection.
Examples of why you might want to change the label
If your inspection is for a product that is differentiated by batch numbers, you might want to relabel Unique ID to "Batch Number."
If your inspection is for a product model in which each one produced is assigned a unique serial number, you might consider relabeling the Unique ID to "Serial Number."
There are some circumstances in which you may find it unnecessary to use a Unique ID.
