JR61526: DOC - DOCUMENTATION INSUFFICIENTLY STATES SCOPE OF $$viewDOMID$$ IN RELATION TO CONTEXT.ELEMENT.ID

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• "Generating a unique ID for a coach view"
  (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFPJS_8.6.0/com
  .ibm.wbpm.wle.editor.doc/topics/tgeneratedomid.html) is vague
  regarding the scope.
  
  Stock controls like Vertical Layout might shift the scope
  resulting in different values for $$viewDOMID$$ in complex
  views. You might get the impression the $$viewDOMID$$ is equal
  to the context.element.id and, as a result, might use an
  unexpected value.
