# Set up list number rule

You can set up a product version number rule to have a new version number defined based on the order of a predefined list.

**Example**: Your list is A, B, C, D, E. On first release, the product gets version number A. If version E is released, further version releases are blocked.

### Steps

1. Go to **Product engineering** > **Setup** > **Product version number rule**.
2. Click **New**.
3. In the **Name** field, type a value.
4. In the **Number Rule** field, select '**List**'.
5. You can define as many version numbers as required and define the sequence in which these are to be used.

Click **Add**.
6. In the **Version** field, type a value.
7. Close the page.
