# IDXUseDRESection

Whether to store metadata as in DRE 3, not as in IDOL Server.

NOTE: Set `IDXUseDRESection` to `False` only if you are using custom DRE3-based applications that require different metadata for each page of a sectioned document. Setting `IDXUseDRESection` to `False` can have adverse effects on some IDOL Server operations (for example, KillDuplicates and Combine).

When you index IDX files into IDOL Server, it stores all the file fields in the first section, which makes storage and processing more efficient. DRE3 stores all the file fields in every section. If you are upgrading from DRE3 to IDOL Server and have modified the values of one or more fields in some of the IDX file sections (so that the field values vary according to the IDX file section), set `IDXUseDRESection` to `False`. This setting ensures that IDOL Server treats the individual sections as individual documents (with different DocIDs), so that none of your field values are lost.
