Index number as reference?

Hello
Suppose I have a database with 5000 records.
Searching with keywords are used to find the desired documents - no problem.
A) How can I trace back to different documents using unique index numbers?
B) How do I get this unique index number?

Hi, Thomas
welcome to the IMatch community.

I understand that you have an IMatch database with 5,000 files (PDF, Office, ...?)
These files have keywords. You use an IMatch search / filter to find the files among the 5,000 files you are interested in.
The result of a search / filter operation will show you all the files matching your search criteria.

What I don't understand is what you want to do now.
Your search result shows you all the files matching your search criteria already.
What do you mean by "trace back"?
What do you mean by "unique index number"?

The File Window can show a index number (the first file shown will have index number 1, then 2, 3, ... n).
Not sure if this is related to what you need.

Or could the answer be here? (from the help):

The XMP standard defines that a globally unique DocumentID has to be created by the application which creates the XMP record for a file. This DocumentID then never changes during the entire lifetime of the file. Masters and versions are detected based on the
XMP DocumentID (Master) and XMP
DerivedFromDocumentID (Versions).

Best wishes from Switzerland! :-)
