# Document Fields

The following fields are added to a document by connectors:

Field | Description
--- | ---
`AUTN_IDENTIFIER` | An identifier that allows a connector to extract the document from the repository again, for example during the collect or view actions. For more information about the identifier, see AUTN_IDENTIFIER.
`DocTrackingId` | An identifier used for document tracking functionality.
`DREREFERENCE` | A reference for the document. This is the standard Knowledge Discovery reference field, which is used for deduplication.
`source_connector_run_id` | (Added only when `IngestSourceConnectorFields=TRUE`). The asynchronous action token of the `fetch` action that ingested the document.
`source_connector_server_id` | (Added only when `IngestSourceConnectorFields=TRUE`). A token that identifies the instance of the connector that retrieved the document (different installations of the same connector populate this field with different IDs). You can retrieve the UID of a connector through `action=GetVersion`.
