It would be great if there was a way to create automatic numbering within the frames in headers and footers. Having had to update headers and footer numbers for 63 slides is a doozy and I think it would be nice to have a feature like this to make it more user friendly if you are using MIRO as a presentation tool instead of a collaborative tool. 

 

Thanks.

hi @LarriJo Boone 

There is automatic numbering for frames. An example is here in this thread: 

  • Automatic numeration for frame names: if you call your first frame 'Frame name 1', we'll be automatically adding the next number to the name of the next frame you add to the board ('Frame name 2', 'Frame name 3', etc)

Is this helpful to you?

I mean within the frame itself. Like in PowerPoint when I create a header or a footer, the number within it gets changed. I know the frames themselves are numbered, but I was curious if there was a way to add an additional header/footer number function WITHIN the frame. Does that clarify my query?

@LarriJo Boone - While this is not exactly possible, one workaround could be to:

  1. Space all your frames evenly on a horizonal plane using the auto layout tool.
  2. Create the names you want in Excel/a spreadsheet, e.g., “Page 1” in one cell, then drag down to fill series.
  3. Paste those cells into Miro so they are sticky notes.
  4. Change the sticky notes to text.
  5. Format as required.
  6. Use auto layout tool to draw to a horizontal place, aligning them with the frames above where you would like the text.
  7. Then drag the text up into the frames.

I will try to make a quick video demonstrating this later.

I have also added this idea to my own personal backlog as a possible feature for a frame app that could:

  1. Allow for renaming of frames (including a sequencing number)
  2. Add a header/footer text to a a bunch of frames, in a specified location, bottom-right, top-right, etc.

MultiFrame

While I’m here, I’ll a plug for my MultiFrame app that I am just about to submit to the Miro Marketplace. This app will frame a bunch of objects at once. Please try the beta version as it has the most features:

Would it be possible for Miro to add the option for page numbering to the Frames button? Our office struggles with the same matter.

A few workarounds/alternatives:

 

MultiFrame

I recently added custom frame naming, and a Name Suffix box that can be used for pagination:

You can get MultiFrame from the Miro Marketplace: https://miro.com/marketplace/multiframe/

 

Super Search

can find and replace text in frames. Also available on the Miro Marketplace: https://miro.com/marketplace/super-search/
