Frequently Asked Questions

If I Delete a Count, will the Labelling update so there are no gaps in the sequence?
No, unfortunately not. Sequences will not auto-update.

How does Increment all work?
How does Increment all work?
If you have 3 numbers in the Label Format like "1-2-3", it will add "3" to each number on the next Label, producing "4-5-6". Formatting a Label like "1-1-1" (3 numbers) the next Label will be "4-4-4".
When I select "Increment All", can I only increment some of the numbers?
When I select "Increment All", can I only increment some of the numbers?
No, unfortunately not.
Currently, the Count Labelling Format does not support "ranges of numbers."
If a range from 10-13 is required, all numbers required need to be in the Format to represent your range e.g. "10-11-12-13". The next Label in the sequence will then be "14-15-16-17".
