• Each Block can have a fixed text or a variable text.
• The variable part can be current year, current month, current date, current hour, current minute, current second or a running unique serial number for each business process.
• The pattern [MCC]-[%Y]-[%UniqueNumber-4] will generate MCC-2014-0001, MCC-2014-0002 and so on in the year 2014.
