The table located underneath displays each Generator that has been assigned to the Attribute. If more than one Generator is present, they are referred to as Linked Generators. In the example below, only one Generator has been assigned. 

Here is an example of Linked Generators within the Attribute Dashboard: 

These Linked Generators combine together to form an orderNumber consisting of 4 Digits, 1 Letter, and 3 More Digits:
