Row Numbers
Add a column of sequential row numbers to your table to improve readability and referencing. Row numbers are displayed as a left-hand index column.
How to enable
- Edit the table macro or import dialog.
- Enable Show row numbers.
- Save or publish the page.
A numbered column will appear at the start of the table.
How it behaves
- Row numbers are generated dynamically based on the current table view.
- They update automatically when sorting or filtering is applied.
- They reflect the visible order of rows, not a fixed identifier.
Why it matters
Row numbers make it easier to reference entries in large tables, especially during discussions, reviews, or when scanning data quickly.
