This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co.
Booth numbers, tour stops, parade positions — sometimes every pin needs a little label. Point numbers can be created in a collection field or a listing property. A listing property shows on every listing or place in your workspace.

Create a Number Field in a Collection
Open the Collection for the map you are editing.
Click Fields.
Select Add Field.
Choose whether you want this field to be applied to listings or just for this collection.
Use one of these field types (add one in the fields editor if you don't have it yet — see Setting Up Categories, Fields, and Labels):
Number — for plain numeric ordering, like tour stops 1 through 20.
Short code — for booth-style codes like "A3" or "001" (up to 8 letters, numbers, or hyphens).
Assign a number to each place one at a time in the edit panel, or all at once in the Bulk Edit spreadsheet. (Existing maps that used the older Point Number field will find it in the list too.)
Show Numbers on Markers
In the map editor, open the Markers section.
Expand Numbers on markers.
Under Number field, pick your field. Choose No numbers to turn labels off again.
Each pin now shows its value on top of its icon. Leave a place's value empty and its pin simply shows no label — handy when only some places are numbered.
Sort the Map List by Point Number
In the map editor, click Sort Order on the left-side panel.
Click Add a sort.
Change the default sort field from Name to Point Number.
Confirm the list is now ordered by the assigned point numbers.
Use this sorted list to match the visual marker order on the map.
Bonus: Print and Sort by Number
The same field powers your printed handouts — the print page can sort the list of places by point number, so the map and the list match. See Printing Your Map.
Cautionary Notes
Make sure you are editing the correct collection and map before adding fields or assigning numbers.
If you want numbers to appear only on one map, use a collection-specific field rather than a field/property in Listings.
Double-check that each place has a unique number if the order matters.
After changing marker settings or sort order, verify the result by zooming in and reviewing the list order.
If you use Shortcode, confirm the format matches your intended numbering style before saving.
Featured places will always appear first on the point list regardless of the sort order.
Tips for Efficiency
Create the Point Number field before assigning numbers to avoid rework.
Use Bulk Edit when numbering many locations to save time.
Keep numbering consistent with the order you want users to follow on the map.
Use a clear field name like Point Number so team members can easily identify it later.
After setup, test the map view and list order together to ensure the marker numbers and list sequence match.
