Steps

On the draft page

create an Add Page macro
- set the Name parameter to "Survey %child-counter:next > number:000%"
- set the Link Text parameter to "Create Survey"
- set the Source parameter to the "Survey" template you created in Part 1
- check the Live Template parameter

The Name parameter value of Survey %child-counter:next > number:000% creates pages with a sequential number.
