Row numbers and IDs

In Ninox, there are 2 ways to number a row and/or record:

• The always visible row number

• The ID for a record (No.)

Row numbers

This is the row header. The row number is always displayed. It always starts at 1 with the row numbers listed sequentially in ascending order until the end of the table.

The row number refers to a different record depending on how the table is sorted. In our example, the same record appears once in row 3 and once in row 4.

Here the rows are sorted alphabetically ...

... and here they are sorted according to the event date

IDs

Then there is the unique identification of a record. This is automatically assigned by Ninox when a new record is created. It cannot be changed.

Internally, it plays a considerable role, for example when linking different tables with table references or selecting certain records.

But since you don’t need them for now, Ninox has hidden the IDs column by default. However, you can display them at any time.
