Numerically serialized labels can be created. You can set the increment and count for the
series. In serialize mode, you can create a series of labels by incrementing one numeric
character in the pattern. In advanced serialize mode, you can choose simultaneous or
advanced. Simultaneous mode creates a series of labels by incrementing two different
numbers at the same time. Advanced mode creates a series of labels by allowing you to
select two sequences in the pattern and increment them consecutively.
