Database Key

• To/CC ⇒ There will either be “To” or “CC” in this column to signify whether the entry’s “Recipient” was the main addressee, indicated by this symbol: ⭐ [star symbol].
• NRDID ⇒ This is the item’s official identifier. It remains the same across multiple entries in the Register although other fields such as “To/CC” or “Recipient” may change as there is only one identifier assigned per document. Note: NRDID contains link to view document.
• Item Name ⇒ Each document is usually assigned a short title to summarize its contents and/or purpose.
• Recipient ⇒ Although a document may be addressed to a single person or party, there may be additional persons or parties carbon copied (CC’d) that also received the item. Such individual(s) are named in the document itself. Whether primary (“To”) or secondary (“CC”), such person(s) are Recipients.
• Notes ⇒ A brief explanatory note or commentary may be provided offering additional insight about a document.
