Numbering

Items can be numbered automatically when they appear on a published agenda. Format and reset behavior are configurable.

Format Pattern

A customizable pattern. {YEAR}-{NUMBER} produces "2026-001", "2026-002", etc.

Reset Behavior

ModeDescription
Per meetingNumbers restart at 1 each meeting
ContinuousNumbers never reset

Closed-Session Items

Always numbered as part of the main sequence.

Ceremonial Items

Three options for ceremonial (preamble) items:

ModeDescription
No numberingCeremonial items appear unnumbered (default)
Separate sequenceCeremonial items numbered independently; first regular item still starts at 1
Shared sequenceCeremonial items share the regular counter

Consent Calendar

Consent items can use a separate alphabetic sequence (A, B, C, …) running in parallel to the main numeric flow.

Tip

Numbering applies at publish time. Republishing (creating an amended version) preserves the original numbering.

Manual Per-Item Overrides

Each row on the agenda builder shows its computed number (e.g. Item 3, Item A). Click the number to edit it inline:

ActionResult
Type a new token, press EnterSubstitutes the token into the format pattern (e.g. typing AA with pattern Item {n} shows as Item AA)
Clear the input, press EnterHides the row's number entirely on the public agenda + PDF (staff view shows a placeholder so the row stays clickable)
Click the icon next to the inputResets the row back to the auto-computed number

Overrides are substitution-only — they don't cascade. If you change Item 2 to "AA", Item 3 stays "Item 3" — the counter doesn't shift past the renamed slot. Hiding a row works the same way: the next row keeps its auto number. This is intentional: overrides are surgical, not bulk renumberings.

Resetting Everything

The meeting's overflow menu (next to + Add item at the top of the agenda) carries a Reset all custom numbers (N) action that surfaces only when at least one override exists. One click clears every override on the meeting; the menu item hides itself when there's nothing to reset.

Closed-Session Items

Overrides flow through closed-session rows the same way as regular items — the row's public number reflects the override after republish. The closed-session body (title-only on the public agenda) is unaffected.

Drift Handling

A change to a row's number counts as an unpublished edit:

  • The row's Edited chip lights up
  • The agenda-level "republish needed" signal fires
  • The publish dialog's suggested changelog text lists (number) as a changed field

Republishing the agenda saves the override into the published copy, and the public agenda + PDF show the new number. Until republish, the public still sees the previously published number.

Tip

For most agendas you'll never need this. It's there for the cases where statute or convention requires a non-sequential label — appellate matter numbers, carryover items from a prior meeting, or a clerk's preferred numbering scheme.
