ProWrite has 3 levels of unique identifiers to help you keep your documents organized. These are CUIDs, DUIDs, and GUIDs (AKA UUIDs).

CUID

...

So for example-

• PQR #
• WPS # when combined with WPS Rev #
• WPQ# when combined with WPS #, WPS # Rev, Welder Identifier
• Welder ID

This new structure allows duplicate CUIDS so something like a tracking number that your customer "John Smith Co" demands be on "WPS 1" while "Pyramid Co." demands a different value be on "WPS 1" can be accommodated. Those 2 companies requirements may directly conflict or "WPS 1" may have already been in use in its present form and should be kept in that exact state permanently but the new company wants some change that, though not impacting on qualification, is an alteration and they still require the same WPS number and revision as was originally submitted to them in their documentation.

DUID

...

<Entity Type>-<Date in YYYYMMDD>-<incrementing #>

so for example-

Welder-20151210-1
WPS-20151210-2

This field will be unique for each PQR, WPS, WPQ and Welder in your database but will not be unique across all ProWrite databases in the world.

GUID

...

Typical GUID/UUID 36 character format like below

8EAB0AF5-D323-4ADF-99F1-11E842E8CC18:

• CUID
  • Human Readable
  • Human Accessible/Modifiable
• DUID
  • Human Readable
  • Non-Human Accessible/Modifiable
• GUID (AKA UUIDs)
  • Less Human Readable
  • Non-Human Accessible/Modifiable
