    I need to number my forms - I can only see a way to add the submission number, but I need my numbering to start at 001_

    Thanks

    Hi Danny,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. While Jotform automatically assigns a submission number to each form, it doesn’t allow you to customize the starting point (e.g., starting from 001) directly through the default submission number. As a workaround, you can use the Unique ID widget. Let me show you how to add it to form:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Under the Widgets tab, enter Unique ID in the search bar, and drag and drop the widget to your form.
    3. Click the Gear icon on the right-side of the widget.
    4. Add your desired Prefix in the Prefix option.
