# Can I customise the desk numbers? (v1)

|| This guide is for the old v1 rooms. For the new v2 rooms, [click here](/en/article/can-i-customise-the-desk-numbers-1snqdhh/).

By default, the desk numbers are populated incrementally from bottom-left to top-right. It is easy to add your own custom desk numbers, which could be useful for allocating computers or other equipment to students.

1. On the 'Edit classroom' page, click the link in the instruction box to activate desk numbering mode.
2. Click in one of the input boxes that now appears over a desk and type in the desk number (or letters or symbols: limited to two characters).
3. Save your classroom.
