# Lasernet Reports Sequence Numbers

On occasion, users may want to hide the **Required Quantity** value if the current sequence number is the same as the previous sequence number. This can be done by using the **Dynamic Region** feature. Follow these steps:

1. Within **Forms**, right-click an empty space on your design and select **Conditional Area**.

1. Ensure that the **Output** tab is selected and click **Add** in the region’s area.

1. Give the region a name and add **10.0mm** in the **Additional progress** field.
2. Select the **Additional progress** **it is relative to the lowest object** checkbox, click **OK** to close the window and then **OK** again to close the main window.

### Assign the Pattern

Now, assign the region to your pattern with detail lines.

1. Double-click the green pattern to display the **Pattern Properties** window.
2. Enter a value into the **Progress** field to set the vertical spacing of your grouped items. In this case, the value is set to **2.0 mm**.
3. In the **Output region** drop-down menu, select the region created earlier.
4. Click **OK**.

1. Click **Dynamic Region** located in the left toolbar.
2. Now select the field you want to group/sort on (in this case you can use it on the field that will duplicate). It will turn dark green to indicate a dynamic field.
3. Double-click the **Dynamic Region** you created and select **Dynamic** in the **Edit Dynamic Region** window.
4. Change the **Sorting order** to **Ascending**.

In the example, we have 4x **D003**, but we only want to show it once.

1. Edit the **Grouping/Sorting** field chosen in step 6 and select and select the **Criteria** tab.
2. Double-click the field in the detail line and then navigate to the **Criteria** page.
3. In the **Instance qualifiers** box, select the **First** and **Single** checkboxes and then select the **Region** radio button.
4. Click **OK**, and now **D003** is shown only once.
