Hi MSP

Thank you for the suggestion. I have also attempted this and was unable to
have any success. I tried to create a new rule with simply having
"Sequential(###)" alone, and did not have any success either. Therefore, I
assumed that there would be some sort of additional text that is required
to make it work.

Kind regards,
Terence
