Auto-numbering in Quickbase
Joe owns a construction company and is using Quickbase for project management. Joe wants tasks within a project to be numbered in sequential order 1, 2, 3, etc. He wants task numbers to continue, in order, even if tasks are deleted.
We can do this easily in Quickbase using a snapshot field, a formula field, and an automation.
Let’s help Joe set up auto-numbering!
Joe’s app has two tables: Projects and Tasks, where projects have many tasks.
