Managing Chart #

SC Support,

1) Is there a limit to the number of charts or other elements (DOM, Quote Table, etc) that may be included in a single ChartBook File.
2) Is there a way to easily identify which Chart # is associated with each chart - other than clicking into each individual chart? For example, is there a page that summarizes the chart # with the associated chart name, which I have customized?
3) Is there a way to re-assign Chart #s?
4) How are Chart #s assigned to charts? Is it in the order that they are created? For example, if I have Chart #'s 1 - 10 and delete #5, will #5 be assigned to the next new chart created or will it be #11.

I have built up a ChartBook File over time that has become a little unwieldy and disorganized. My aim is to reorganize it using logical chart # without painstakingly rebuilding it. Any guidance you can offer is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for quick response. I'm not clear on your answer for #4. Does that mean that the new chart gets assigned #5 because that was last to be deleted?

If you want to reassign chart numbers, there is a workaround using Chart >> Duplicate Chart. This is possible because a new chart is assigned the lowest available vacant chart number.

Tomgilb,
Thanks so much for your suggestion. Duplicating only what I need to a new ChartBook will save a lot of time and produce logical Chart #'s. Time to get busy with some spring cleaning!
