Insert elements in the editor

After inserting an element, you may or may not see element IDs. An administrator can configure an element to never be assigned an ID.

For example, if a Ditabase component is created or imported into Inspire, normally an ID is automatically added to the root level <Dita>. For Ditabase, this ID makes the component invalid when opened in the XML editor because ID is not allowed on a Dita component.

If an element is configured to not use IDs:

• When content is imported, no ID is generated
• In the Oxygen editor, no ID is generated when the Generate IDs or Save and Submit options are used
• This behavior is enforced even if the automaticIds option is turned on
