Reviewing Internal Tracking Identifiers

You can review internal tracking identifiers in both areas of a document. Once you display a chapter, subject, or topic list, you can issue the STATS ON command to review internal information about that structure.

Each level of a structure contains its own unique set of internal identifiers. As an example, a subject contains a subject internal identifier and a chapter internal identifier. The chapter internal identifier may not necessarily represent that subject's owner chapter.

The internal tracking identifier of a chapter, subject, or topic consists of:

• Unique internal tracking identifier of the CV established at product installation.
• Chapter - the incremental value assigned when the chapter was added to the document. This value starts out at 0 at product installation and can be increased to 65,535. Therefore, 65,535 new chapters can be added to a document.
• Subject - the incremental value assigned when the subject was added to the document. This value starts out as 0 at production installation and can be increased to 65,535. Therefore, 65,535 new subjects can be added to a document.
• Topic - the incremental value assigned when the topic was added to the document. This value starts out as 0 at product installation and can be increased to 65,535. Therefore, 65,535 new topics can be added to a document.

The next level of internal identifier demonstrates the internal identifier of the structure to which a subject or topic was initially added. As mentioned earlier, these values are never changed:

• Chapter Level - Not applicable. The document control structure is the highest level above a chapter.
• Subject Level - The chapter identifier for a subject represents the internal ID of the original chapter to which the subject was added.
• Topic Level - The subject identifier for a topic represents the internal ID of the original subject to which the topic was added. The chapter identifier for a topic represents the internal ID of the original chapter to which the topic was added.
