Where and how would be the best way to enter a testnumber for each test I run so that the test would have a test number column in the database associated with it.

Go to Configure > Result Processing Insert a Database report by clicking the add button Click Options Go to Schemas tab Copy the Generic Recordset Checkbox the new copy Recordset. Expand the Generic Recordset, then expand STEP_RESULT. Right-click any child and add a New child I named it UID and set it to a 32 byte string Set the Value to Log option to: PropertyExists("Logging.StepResult.UID") ? Logging.StepResult.UID : "" Click OK on Database Options to save and close Options Click OK on Result Processing dialog to save and close Click on any test step in your sequence, where you want a Unique ID. In the step's Pre-Expression add this: Step.AsPropertyObject().SetValString("Result.UID", PropOption_InsertElement, "12345") This adds a UID of 12345 to the Step.Result Run the test sequence After the sequence is complete, go back to Database Options in Result Processing and click View Data Use this sql query to see the Step Name, UID and UUT Status SELECT UUT_RESULT.UUT_SERIAL_NUMBER, UUT_RESULT.START_DATE_TIME, STEP_RESULT.ORDER_NUMBER AS STEP_ORDER, STEP_RESULT.STEP_NAME, STEP_RESULT.UID, STEP_RESULT.STATUSFROM UUT_RESULT LEFT JOIN STEP_RESULT ON UUT_RESULT.ID = STEP_RESULT.UUT_RESULTORDER BY UUT_RESULT.UUT_SERIAL_NUMBER, UUT_RESULT.START_DATE_TIME, STEP_RESULT.ORDER_NUMBER A table will be created which includes the UID column

NI TestStand

Enter a Testnumber value in the results

Solved!

17. In the step's Pre-Expression add this: Step.AsPropertyObject().SetValString("Result.UID", PropOption_InsertElement, "12345")

I had a typo in Step 17, it should be:

17. In the step's Pre-Expression add this: Step.AsPropertyObject().SetValString("Result.UID", PropOption_InsertIfMissing, "12345")

PropOption_InsertIfMissing instead of PropOption_InsertElement. Funny thing is, those options have the same constant value of 1, which is why when I tested, I didn't get any errors.
