11 In order to use the plugin a new [[workflow>>doc:Formcycle.Designer.Workflow.WebHome]] action of type **Create serial number** needs to be created. With every execution of this action the value of the serial number counter will be updated. If there is not yet a serial number for this form than it will be created.
