Numbering the rows of a table

I admit I'm a newbie with LyX, but this seems like such a simple operation. I read that LyX is especially good with lists, numbered, itemized, etc. Well, I need that in a table. I want one column of my table to contain the number of that row. For example, +--+--+ | item | head |
