    Default SSM fields question

    Hello,

    I am trying to figure out a way to link my sheet to the order of the sheet in the index, if that makes since.... so on my sheet I will have

    sheet "C2.0" then below

    "SHEET 1 OF 15"

    I am looking to see if I can link the "1" or the current sheet to the sheet index layout so if I have to add a sheet or move a sheet it updates the "SHEET 1 OF 15" to whatever it gets moved to.

    Thanks for any help!

    Brian

    What we do is we "trick" SSM into doing what we want for this reason.
    We use the "Current Sheet Number" field for the "X" of number, and the "Current Sheet Title" for the sheet number, and so it's easy to rename and renumber and it gets updated in the sheet index.
    And then just add a "Current Sheet Custom" multi-line attribute for the actual sheet title, because that's not as important for sorting.
