Today one of my user wanted a Auto incrementing number/ ID in a list .
We have a Out of box ID which keeps on incrementing in a list .
Out of box the column is not added in the view . we have to add it by going to the Modify this view .
Check the box for ID and get it to the top by changing the number in front of it to 1.
there are limitations to this ID .
The ID keeps incrementing if you delete any item the ID doesnt start from 1 .
its just keeps incrementing . you cannot reset the ID .
You cannot rename the column ID.
to reset the ID you need to create a new list and copy/move over the contents to the new list .
