If you have a numeric ID field, you can use this as the numeric value of the control number, which will be zero-padded at the designated length combined with any prefix provided. Note that if an ID field is designated, it must be unique to each record, otherwise records with identical numbers will be skipped.   ![](https://kb.cloudnine.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Apr-07-2022-12-23-01-47-AM.png) The first option states that you have a control numbering sequence within your load file. The second option will utilize a series of numbers in your load file and you can put in the prefix and padding after you click "Next" at the bottom.   ![](https://kb.cloudnine.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Apr-07-2022-12-23-00-17-AM.png) The last option allows you to create the full control number when you click next so you don't need to create anything in your load file.  ![](https://kb.cloudnine.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Apr-07-2022-12-23-00-87-AM.png)   - [CloudNine Training Videos](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-training-videos?hsLang=en#main-content) - [CloudNine Videos by Product](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-training-videos?hsLang=en#cloudnine-videos-by-product) - [CloudNine Review](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-review?hsLang=en#main-content) - [CloudNine Review Video Library](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-review?hsLang=en#cloudnine-review-video-library) - [Section 1: Getting Started](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-review?hsLang=en#section-1-getting-started) - [Getting Started: My Projects](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-review?hsLang=en#getting-started-my-projects) - [Section 2: Understanding Different Views](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-review?hsLang=en#section-2-understanding-different-views) - [Section 3: Searching](https://kb.cloudnine.com/cloudnine-review?hsLang=en#section-3-searching) - [Section 3A.
