Feature

The Auto Number Column enables you to number your items sequentially, either within a group or across the entire board. It is an amazing column to use if you want to keep track of the number of tasks you have. It is also great if you have orders and want to have specific tracking numbers for them 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣

Note: The Auto Number Column is not supported on boards with more than 20k items and linked items. For boards that exceed these limits, the Auto Number Column will not populate. 

How to add it

To add the Auto Number column, click on the "+" icon located on the top right of your column name, and select "More columns". Once in the Column Center, search for "Auto Number" and select "Add to board." 

Once this column is added, your items will automatically be assigned a number according to their order within the group they belong to.

Customize it

There are several ways to customize this column. 🙌  Click on the three dots to the right of your column title, hover over "Settings", and then select "Customize Auto Number column". 

From the window that appears, you can choose to have the items ordered according to their order on the board, or to have the numbers ordered within each separate group. You can also choose the font type, add a prefix, and select an ascending or descending order. 

If you drag items to change their order, the number will update accordingly.
