Card View "Auto Numbering"
In my line of work for Disaster Debris Recovery Operations, we use Smartsheet extensively—especially "Card View"—to organize field crews efficiently.
We rely on the top-to-bottom order in each lane to set crew priorities, where the top card is #1, and each following card is numbered in sequence. To manage this, I built a custom column to manually assign numbers based on position.
The problem? Every time a card is moved, we have to manually renumber the entire list. It’s repetitive, time-consuming, and easy to mismanage.
The solution? Let’s create a feature that automatically numbers cards from top to bottom in Card View, updating the values in real-time as cards are moved.
This small enhancement would save countless hours, reduce errors, and streamline workflows for teams who depend on visual prioritization.
Can we make it happen?
