Typically, there are two distinct use cases when it comes to auto-incrementing row numbers. Use Case 1: – We need to generate a Part Number, or an Order Number, or an Employee ID. Once the number is generated, it should never change, even if rows are deleted. – The general approach for this use case is to maintain a static counter, use it to craft a suitably formatted ID, and increment it by one every time… theoretically I know what needs to be done but it’s the first time I’ve used glide. Do you know if there is an example, a guide that can help me? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/simple-row-id/70302)._
