Other tips and tricks

The Digizuite has the following object heirachies:

Item
   Asset
   ComboValue
   TreeValue
   MetaField
   etc...

The means that everything in the Digizuite is an Item, and thus have an ItemId. In addition everything has a BaseId, which is separate from the ItemId. This is why assets can keep counting up in id, one after the other, while the ItemId is skipping ahead several steps.

This means there are 2 kinds of Ids in the Digizuite. The "ItemId" and the "BaseId". The "BaseId" is also sometimes called the "Id".
