Numbered lists contain list items with unique identifiers. Model builders use numbered lists to manage duplicate names in a model.
Numbered lists
Create display names to identify numbered list items. For example, the table below contains two employees with the same name. The display names are identical but contain unique identifiers.
| Unique identifier | Parent | Code | Display name |
| #1 | Sales | 001 | Elaine Mitton |
| #2 | Finance | 002 | Debbie Jones |
| #3 | HR | 003 | Elaine Mitton |
Note: Unique identifiers and codes are separate in lists. Add codes to list items for import and export actions.
You can create numbered lists if a list item’s source identifier exceeds 60 characters. For example, use a numbered list if products contain large SKUs. You can also use the Create, Assign, Delete Branch, and Copy Branch actions with numbered lists.
Use appropriate name conventions for your numbered list. For example, prefix the name with a hash (#).
Manage your numbered lists in General Lists in the model settings bar.
