Specify the number of characters the sequence number should consist of. The sequence number is automatically incremented every time a code is generated. You can also specify an initial sequence number. Refer to Initial sequence number.
Example
###### results in the following code: 000001.
YY
Have the last two digits of the current year precede the sequence number.
Example
YY##### with the initial sequence number 77 will result in the years 2005 and 2006 in the following codes: 0500077 and 0600077.
random character
