Each person in Traffio can have an optional 'Employee ID' field. This ID can be any unique identifier for an employee, e.g. "EMP-234" for 'John Smith'. Traffio can automatically generate a unique 'Employee ID' when you create a new person within the interface.


How To Enable Automatically Generated Employee ID's

  1. Navigate to My Company on the sidebar

  2. Toggle on the 'Generate employee ID's' option (You can also set a prefix and choose the starting number for the automatically generated employee IDs.)

  3. Click Save


Generate an Employee ID

Once the functionality is enabled, refresh your browser window before proceeding with the next steps. You can then create a new person from the Traffio UI.

  1. Navigate to People on the sidebar

  2. Click +New

  3. Populate the employee profile as required but do not enter anything into the 'Employee ID' field

  4. Click Create

Once the person's profile has been saved, you will see the 'Employee ID' field has automatically been populated.

You can change this automatically generated employee ID at any time. If you need to return to the originally generated ID, click on the 'Regenerate ID' button and then click 'Save'.
