In some situations you might want to use the ID attribute for your DOM elements within a coach view. However, all DOM IDs must be globally unique. For example, during collaboration the default highlighting behavior is implemented based on a unique DOM ID. To ensure a unique ID, you can use the $$viewDOMID$$ placeholder keyword. At run time, this keyword will be replaced by the Coach View DOM ID.
Within the coach view javascript code you will access the this.context.viewid to match with the id of your dom elements.
