generate unique sequence number

I'm trying to automatically generate a unique sequence number using forms 4.5.

Under the text items property I've set the default value to :sequence.column_name.nextval.

Next, I believe I create a trigger with the built-in generate_sequence_number.

I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone provide detailed step-by-step directions?
