Hi folks.
Doing a manual for a program that controls servers and clients and the like. I KNOW in my head what they are saying, but I am having trouble coming up with the right English.
Is this just "consecutively numbered?"
Here is the offending sentence:
Die IDs der Baugruppen werden dicht durchnummeriert.
If you have a better solution, I will give it due consideration.
I have also thought about adding "without gaps" after this, but is that really necessary, what with 'consecutively' and all?
All contributions gratefully accepted.
Yours,
cantrell

numbered continuously without any gaps
continuously or contiguously - either works here. The 'dicht' needs to be rendered by something like 'with no gaps' 'without any missing numbers'

numbered consecutively
somewhat similar to your own :-)
if the numbering is consecutive, no numbers are skipped, so no further qualification is needed in Eng IMO.
Normally I'd've commented on previous answers (in fact disagreeing with all 3) instead of posting this, but apparently I've been a bold boy and I no longer can do so.
