The component unique identifier field (CUID) was used in various ways in the past but it currently is not used.

Previous uses have included:

  1. Series number information in legacy description.
  2. A place to enter barcode numbers to serve as filenames for digitized content. See this page for more information on this and item 3 below.
  3. Digitization filename, generated automatically via the digitization order plug-in.
