(Required) Specifies the default method used to generate random account usernames (when creating
groups of accounts). This may be overridden by using the random_username_method field.
Username
Length
(Required) Default length of random account usernames (when creating groups of accounts). This
may be overridden by using the random_username_length field. This field is displayed if the
Username Type is set to “Random digits”, “Random letters”, “Random letters and digits” or “Sequential
numbering”.
Username

Displays a sample username generated according to the rules specified by the selections in the
Username Type and Username Length fields. You can click the Generate link to view different
examples.
Username
Format
Specifies the format of the username to be created. This field is displayed if the Username Type is
set to “Format picture”. See "Format Picture String Symbols" on page 736 for a list of the special
characters that may be used in the format string. This may be overridden by using the random_
username_picture field.
Initial
Sequence
This field contains the next available sequence number for each username prefix that has been used.
Automatic sequence numbering is used when the value of the multi_initial_sequence field is set to -
1. The username prefix is taken from the multi_prefix field when usernames are automatically
generated using the “nwa_sequence” method. You can edit the values stored here to change the next
sequence numbers that will be used. This is an automatically managed field; in most situations there
is no need to edit it.
