2. Choose to configure automatic IDs for cases or video requests.

   The supported keys and their respective values are as follows:

   Key	Value

   {DD}	Long Day
   {M}	Short Month
   {MM}	Long Month
   {YY}	Short Year

   Note:

   • You can also include fixed characters in the ID template by entering them in the ID template without any brackets, such as in the following example: CCN-1111-{YYYY}-{N}, which would yield the result: CCN-1111-2022-1.
   • The {N} keyword is not displayed properly in the case and request views when the template it is included in is also assigned the {###} keyword.
5. Click Save.
   Your ID template is created.
