By default the sequence value is a double digit number starting at 01. You can configure the sequence numbering with a Base Value, a Numbering Scheme and a Control Property |

Note that The Digits property only applies to property that are stored as text: if you are editing a property that is numeric, for instance a SQL Decimal, the Digits property will have no effect since the SQL DataView will automatically truncate the leading zeros and convert the number 001 for instance, to its decimal value: 1.0 |

The Control Property can be used to monitor a summary value such as the sum or the average of all records in the sequence.
For instance if you are assigning pre-cast components to a truck you may want to check that the total weight does not exceed the maximum load.
