Look up autonumber in FM Help. The most pertinent topic is: Using multiple counters in an autonumber format
but most of the topics are relevant. In File > New > Explore Standard Templates, the outline templates are examples of different numbering styles. Choose Show Sample for each outline template to display examples of the numbering. With the Paragraph Designer open to the Numbering properties pane, move your insertion pointer through the example paragraphs, and observe the paragraph tag name and its Autonumber format to see the formats and their results.
