## Overview
|
|
|
|
Use the UUID generator transform to create a universal unique ID (UUID) in the form of a 36-character string.
|
|
|
|
:::note Other Considerations
|
|
|
|
There is no uniqueness checking in this transform - the underlying code is written to provide a 1 in 68,719,476,736 chance of creating a string that actually collides with another string within the tenant, so the generated UUID's uniqueness is very likely, but it is not guaranteed.

|
## Transform structure
|
|
|
|
The UUID generator transform only requires the transform's `type` and `name` attributes:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "uuid",
|
|
"name": "UUID Generator Transform"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Attributes
|
|
|
|
- **Required Attributes**
|
|
|
|
- **type** - This must always be set to `uuid`.
|
|
- **name** - This is a required attribute for all transforms. It represents the name of the transform as it will appear in the UI's dropdown menus.
|
|
|
|
- **Optional Attributes**
|
|
- **requiresPeriodicRefresh** - This `true` or `false` value indicates whether the transform logic should be reevaluated every evening as part of the identity refresh process.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
This transform produces a UUID such as "f7493c55-f3fc-491a-b352-4664d71f885b".
|
|
|
|
**Transform request body**:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "uuid",
|
|
"name": "UUID Generator Transform"
|
|
}
|
|
```
