System Location: Admin / Item Types
An item type is a user-defined type for data entry items within the application. For example, address types specify the types of physical addresses (Example: Home, Work) that can populated within member accounts.
Most item types are simple item types, which require only basic settings such a name, and external reference, with little to no system ramifactions other than creating a new parameter selection or data input box. However, some item types are more complex and have a larger impact and/or array of configuration options.
Simple Item Types
To create a simple item type, navigate to the system location, then click the "Add" link at the top to create item type creation. Alternately, to modify an existing item type, click the "Edit" link within the grid for the associated item type. Unused item types can also be deleted from the edit page.

Auto Generate Id
Select functionality supports the auto-assignment of previously generated Ids upon enrolling members. If utilized, the auto-generation settings and the resulting Ids are configured here. Upon initial commit, up to 100,000 Ids are generated. An hourly job runs to ensure that at least 25,000 Ids are available. If not, up to 100,000 more Ids are generated. Please note, once configured, settings are irreversible. Contact Kognitiv Loyalty Support before proceeding.
An auto-generated Id can only be assigned once and a specific ID in the range can't be manually added. Example: If 123456 is an auto-generated account Id and is deleted, it can't be added again.
