Dear all,
I want to do the "exercise" from the following docuware article  KBA-36518 named "how to flag duplicate documents already stored in the file cabinet".

I am storing documents in a file cabinet, besides different files I have also stored the same file multiple times (on purpose).
I want to make use of the index field "Original DocID" but I have realized that in the "index fields" entry this field is empty for all the stored documents.
In the exercise this field is not empty and can be used in the AutoIndex.
So I have 2 questions :
1) Why in my case the field is empty for all documents and what is the explanation and purpose of the "Original DocID"  filed?
2) what is the difference between DOC ID and Original DocID ?
I have come to understand that "DOC ID" is a unique number given to a store document in a file cabinet from Docuware, it is sequential, unique and follows the document as an "attribute" is this correct?
Thank you.

Hello Panagiotis Basakidis, 

1) in this KB, it is assumed that the field Original DocID is already filled with values. In the KB example, the Original DocID flags duplicate documents - any document which has a value which equals that of at least one other document in the file cabinet, will be flagged as duplicate in the subsequent steps.
You do not have to use Original DocID in your scenario - instead use any other field which can be used in your file cabinet to identify if a document is stored multiple times. You can also use a combination of multiple fields.
2) Your assumption about how the DocID works is correct. The combination of file cabinet and DocID can always be used to uniquely identify any single document. In the database filecabinet table, this number is the primary key.
