    "id": string,
    "prefix": string,
    "minDigits": number,
    "nextValue": number,
    "type": string,
    "pattern": string
}
...]

Where:

• id This is what is referenced using the !-notation. Must be unique.

Examples

A unique sequence for a project.

{
    "id": "PRJ0001-DS-Seq",
    "prefix": "UN-SEQ-",
    "minDigits": 4,
    "type": "ProjectSequence",
}

This will generate sequences starting with: UN-SEQ-0001;

Another unique sequence for a project starting from 1000.

{
    "id": "PRJ0001-DS-Seq2",
    "prefix": "UN-SEQ2-",
    "minDigits": 4,
    "nextValue": 1000,
    "type": "ProjectSequence",
}

This will generate sequences starting with: UN-SEQ2-1000;
