Hello,
I understand, what this extension does, but don`t know how to use and in which case? Would someone shed a little light for non developer on this?

shalmaxb thank you for your comment.
I believe that this extension is not for everyone. You can use that extension for example to extend safety of access to your attachments. You could generate uuid to every attachment and use UUID as second parameter in URL to entryPoint, what will increase safety of your files.

That is an interesting usage idea.

I probably don't have a need for this extensions but would like to ask, is it only generated upon Creation of record?

That is correct. It's generating like ID of espo records. We're using from UUID more than number field, because we have many public services which require UUID as second string which will authenticate client. We also have similar field but with password Oh, we have many modifications in our EspoCRM.. First we've created everything in custom directory, now, from many months we're moving changes from custom to extensions to seperate modifications. Few of them we're publishing here, on forum, for free. Other are confidential and rest will be published as paid extensions

For example we want to move our SMS module from custom to extension Then we'll publish that as a paid extension. It'll be different from VOIP integration because use will be able to connect extension to any provider which is support API sending messages
