How do I renumber or reorder files in the Data Room?
In this article, we'll cover:
Changing the Order of Files in Your Data Room
- Navigate to the Data Room tab from the top menu.
- Click the 3 dot button in the top right.
- From the dropdown, select Edit Index.
- Upon selecting, you will see the Edit Index window. You'll be presented with a grid that allows you to re-number your files in any way you want.
You can do two things:
- You can arrange the index by enumerating them in the New Index.
- Or, you can also use your mouse which would turn into a four-arrowed cursor to drag and drop the Index into its new arrangement.
Resetting the List Without Alphabetical Letters
To reset the list without using alphabetical letters, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Settings tab located at the top of the screen.
- In the left panel navigation select Requests
- Once you click in, search for List keys **and select **Enable
- A new window will appear. In this window, assign a two-letter prefix to each list, such as AA, BB, CC. Click the Enable button. This will assign the chosen prefix to the beginning of each list, followed by a sequential number. For example, the lists will appear as AA-1, AA-2, BB-1, BB-2.
- Once you have completed the prefix assignment, disable the feature. As a result, the ID numbers will be reset and continue sequentially without the prefix, starting from 1, 2, 3, and so on.
If you have any questions about editing the index, using alphabetical prefixes, or need further assistance in maintaining an organized Data Room, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team via in-platform chat or at support@dealroom.net.port team.
