A "Counter Value" allow to enter sequence starting number.
A "Format" consists of the substitution variables described below, plus any other characters you wish to include as a prefix or suffix.
{0} - Sequence number (required parameter). One or more zeros enclosed in curly braces represent the sequence number itself. The number of zeros in the curly braces dictates the minimum number of digits that will be displayed. If the actual number has fewer digits than this, it will be padded with leading zeros. Maximum is 10 digits.
{YY} or {YYYY} - Year (optional parameter). 2 or 4 "Y" characters enclosed in curly braces represent the year of the record creation date. You can display 2 digits (e.g., "04") or all 4 digits (e.g., "2004") of the year.
{MM} - Month (optional parameter). 2 "M" characters enclosed in curly braces represent the numeric month (e.g., "01" for January, "02" for February) of the record creation date.
{DD}- Day (optional parameter). 2 "D" characters enclosed in curly braces represent the numeric day of the month (e.g., "01" to "31" are valid days in January) of the record creation date.
