It's been awhile since I had to venture into this area, but from what I remember, you're looking behind the curtain at the actual indexing of the View (and components do something similar). You can get a better idea of how this is all used by going to your Gateway, then `Status > Connections > Perspective Sessions`, select any (non-Designer) session, then dive into the Details of any Page in use by the session.

The letter following the `@` designates where the View resides.

For example: `Templates/Components/Input/Button@C$0:9:0`  
Is a View with a path of `Templates/Components/Input/Button`, in the " **C** entral" (Primary) View. It is the 0th child in some container which is the 9th child at the 0th level.

The "D" designation I believe refers to Designer. Docked Views clarify their side with "L", "T", "B", and "R", and I think Popup is "P".

You're actually also likely to see this indexing in use when a specific component has a script fail during execution.

```auto

```

See the "D" designation for Designer?
