## Database ID

This function is a convenience method used to set or clear the UDTI Yate Album ID and/or Yate Track ID. These fields can be used with export sets to create Album and Track databases which have additional references to albums and tracks. When setting you can elect to only set the ID if it is missing or in the case of Yate Album IDs, inconsistant.

The function ensures that every selected track with the same album field will be assigned the same id for Set Yate Album ID.

While the function operates in all execution modes, doing a Set Yate Album ID in groupwise mode will never have the desired results. Note that when the functionality is invoked from the UI, the effective mode is never groupwise.

If you are interested in the type of value generated see Preferences-Actions.
