For example, consider the format (G)[1:.(M:1)].(F)[2:.(#)]@myvo.org. This somewhat confusing string will first generate Werner.Heisenberg@myvo.org. If that isn't unique, it will then generate Werner.K.Heisenberg@myvo.org. Finally, it will generate Werner.K.Heisenberg.1@myvo.org. You should probably set the minimum value in the identifier assignment configuration to start at 2 when used with sequenced segments. That would generate Werner.K.Heisenberg.2@myvo.org instead, which is presumable less confusing if there is already a Werner.K.Heisenberg@myvo.org assigned.

As of v1.1.0, there are two types of sequenced segments: additive and single use. Additive sequenced segments are denoted with [ and ], and are inserted starting with their designated sequence and remain in place for future identifier attempts. Single use sequenced segments are indicated with an additional = inserted after the open bracket. So, for example, the segment [1:.(M:1)] will be inserted into the second and each subsequently generated identifier candidate, the segment [=1:.(M:1)] will only be inserted into the second generated candidate (and no subsequent candidates).

The good news is you may not need to know all of this. Various common default formats are available via a drop down menu, and you may be able to just use one of those.
