# Configure The Start Number At Property

## **Overview**

The `Start At` property instructs the Numbering API on where the Numbering counter should start for a newly created Numbering profile. Example: If the `Start At` property is set to 5, the Numbering Execution API will start generating numbers from 5 and not 1.

Below is a tutorial on how to configure this:

1. In the Agilit-e Admin Portal, in the Numbering module's section, open the `Leave Numbering` profile.

      ]
    }
  ]

      ]
    }
  ]
}

5. Click on `Submit` to save the Numbering Profile.
