The order and hierarchy of keys is defined using the codes: subordinate keys appear at lower levels, e.g., together with primary components and descriptors of a key. The key code can include any character, but when establishing a hierarchy, define keys as you would an IP address, in other words, a maximum of four sets of three digits separated by dots, e.g., “100.200.300.124”.

Separator dots in the key code help define a hierarchy.

Keys must be unique within a database.
