The Numberator form has several standard settings to allow you to customise your code set in an awesomely flexible way.
Allowable Characters #
This is where you tell Numberator which characters you want to appear in your generated code set. You can specify any upper and lower case letter (A-Z and a-z), and number (0-9) and any of the following symbols: ! $ % & * _ - + . @ ( )
Code Length #
The Code Length slider allows you specify how long you want the code to be. The length is the actual number of digits you want The Numberator to generate, and not the total length, where you are adding characters as part of a Code Pattern. You can specify a length from 4 to 24 characters. The longer the code you generate, the more unique combinations can be generated within a single set.
Drag the slider left and right to specify the code length required.
Number of Codes Required #
This is where you specify how many unique codes you want generated within a Code Set. The minimum number of codes you can generate is 100 and the maximum is 10 million.
Each code generated will use one of your account credits. You cannot generate more codes than you have available credits, and this will be validated at the time your code request is made.
The uniqueness of codes is only guaranteed within the set you generate at that time. For example, if you specify 1000 codes to be generated, then every single code will be unique. But if you specify 500 codes as a set, and then generate another set of 500 then there is a possibility of duplicate codes appearing in the second set that were in the first set. However the statistical likelihood is significantly reduced for longer more complex codes, than it would be for short 4-digit codes.
Statistics Box #
As you change the various settings, the Statistics Box will tell you what the maximum possible number of code combinations available based on those settings. You can use this to check the uniqueness probability for the code set you have specified.
Random Code Order #
When this is enabled, the generated code set will be returned in a random order, rather than an alphanumeric sorted order. When sorted alphanumerically, this is done according to the ASCII character value of each character in the code.
