Numbering
Items are numbered automatically when they appear on a published agenda. One organization-wide style governs every section uniformly, with an optional prefix. Configure both under Settings → Agenda → Numbering.
Style
| Style | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous | 1, 2, 3 | One running sequence across every section |
| Per section (decimal) | 1.1, 1.2 | Restarts each section using the section number (<section>.<item>) |
| Per section (alpha) | 1.a, 1.b | Restarts each section with a lowercase letter (<section>.<letter>) |
Prefix
An optional label placed before every number — e.g. a prefix of Item renders Item 1, Item 1.1. Leave it blank for bare numbers (1, 1.1).
Closed-Session Items
Numbered in line with the rest of the agenda, like any other item.
The style is stamped onto each meeting when it's created, so changing it under Settings applies to new meetings only — existing meetings keep the numbering they were created with. Numbering itself applies at publish time; republishing (an amended version) preserves the meeting's numbering.
Manual Per-Item Overrides
Each row on the agenda builder shows its computed number (e.g. Item 3, Item 1.1). Click the number to edit it inline:
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Type a new token, press Enter | Substitutes the token (e.g. typing AA with prefix Item shows as Item AA) |
| Clear the input, press Enter | Hides 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 input | Resets 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A change to a row's number counts as an unpublished edit: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.
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.
