About the Inspection Unique ID
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".
