Hi,

New to Copper.
We are getting all of our projects into Copper now and have the need to see all projects listed and sorted by Project ID.

When in Projects view I see:

- Client
- Project
- Progress
- Status
- Budget
- [Priority]
- Ends

Is there a way to add Project ID to this display? Replace one that is in this list that we may not use as often?

Or will the solution be duplication of data? Meaning adding the Project ID to the front of the Project Name? I would hope that redundancies can be avoided.

Any insight is appreciated!
Thanks.

I would also welcome the ability to view the ID column. In an ideal world I would also like to have the project ID appear on the coppers's generated invoices.

We'll have to look at this, the only issue is that space really is at a premium in that particular view, however now that we've gone to the open format adding the extra column under customization is made easier.

Adding ID to the front of projects is an option, I wonder what % of users would want the ability to sort by _either_ ID or project name?

Actually, out of interest, what do everybody's Project IDs actually look like?

Are you using the default numerical format, alpha, or a combination?

We use a combination of both at out office. Three to four letters followed by three numbers.
