    I would like to know, as submissions come in, what number submission it is. This would be in the email I receive from the system as forms are submitted. 

     

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Yes there is. You can use the Submission ID# in the Email Notification.

    this is not what I was looking for. I would like the numbers to be chronological so I have an idea of what number submission this is. How would I do that?

    You can include a unique ID widget in your form to allow for this:

    http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/autoincrement

    You can set the counter to whatever you would like to start and include a custom ID for each submission.  This automatically increments so each ID could be related to the submission count if you would like.
