Autonumber fields automatically assign a unique, incremental number to each record, making identification easy.
Note: The Autonumber field is not intended to count the number of records in a table. When a record is deleted in between, the rest of the records will not be renumbered.
To create an autonumber field, select Autonumber field from the list of field types, by clicking the + icon from the field header.
By default your records will be numbered in the usual sequential numeric ascending order (1, 2, 3, 4).
