New numbering/unique ID for each row on summary report template

BenBlowers2

Hi all,

I am creating a very simple summary report for all my photos. I would like each row in the summary to have a new number, "1", "2", "3".. etc...

I cannot use objectid, as this numbering system is sequential and wont ever start at 1, 2, 3 etc.

Is it possible to have a new unique numbering system for summary rows within a report template?

Thanks,

Ben

Agree with Katherine's post. 

You could calculate the integer field with something like position(..) if you're using a repeat.  It will auto-increment based on the repeat record, but it will not watch out for duplicates (for example, if you have 12 entries and delete #8 and then add a new record, you'll have two #12s). 

edit: actually, it looks like you can access the position of a record in a report now without having to store it as a field.

${$feature | getValue: "position"}
