Outline numbering display

When outline numbering is enabled in Documents, outline numbers appear for Document headings and Work Item titles in the Document Editor. This topic describes the display of outline numbers in the Table and Tree Table views of Documents, including Work Items referenced from a different Document.

• If an outline number is assigned to a Document-based Work Item, then the Work Item Table and Tree Table views show the outline number from the master Document (the Document that actually contains the original item).

• When a Document is selected in Navigation and viewed in the Table or Tree views, and a Work Item is selected the table or tree, the outline number you see in the Outline Number column of the table/tree is the outline number from the Document selected in Navigation. The value in the Outline Number field in the selected Work Item's detail form may be different from the value in the table column if the item is referenced from another Document. In that case, the value in the field is the outline number of the item in the Master Document - the Document that actually contains the Work Item and from which it is referenced to other Documents.

• If a Work Item has no outline number assigned, then the Outline Number column in the table section of the page shows only icon representing the Work Item type.
