Parameter	Default value	Description	Valid examples

Parameter	Default value	Description	Valid examples
`processVariable`		Here, the user can set a variable to which the created value is written. e.g. counter. Caution: The variable name "id" may not be used!	`counter`
`counterName`		This parameter sets the id generation to this counterName context. Multiple counterNames in different process definitions will generate ids in their counterName context.	`counter55`
`year`		This parameter is optional and sets the year. Should the year be set for example to 2019 the id counter will continue to raise and not start every year anew.
`length`	`4`	The length parameter increases the ID length by a specified number of consecutive numbers. Length can be set manually. For example, if “length=5” is entered, the ID will be composed of the current 5 consecutive numbers like 00001. If nothing is set manually, the ID is composed of the current four consecutive numbers by default.
`startingValue`	`1`	Only to be used in the current year.
