Forget manually re-numbering your flowchart every time a step changes. This video walks through two clever ways to use conditional formatting and formulas to ensure your steps stay in perfect sequence automatically. For full formula information, please refer to this documentation.
What you’ll learn:
- How to use a formula-only approach to count preceding shapes and generate a sequence.
- How to combine custom shape data properties with conditional formatting for a more tailored numbering system.
- How to set up dynamic text badges that update in real-time as you add or remove shapes from the canvas.
- How to ensure your numbering remains consistent across complex, multi-path process maps.
⚙️ A note on the UI
This video was produced around 2024. While the Lucid interface has been refreshed since then, the formula logic and the conditional formatting engine used to drive this auto-numbering remain fully operational.
