I am confused about chapter numbers and ToC

hello indesign users,

 

my apologies posting question here obvious answer, have been searching hours, reading manual, watching videos , have not come close solution.

 

i trying out indesign, deciding of going use book project (which contains lot of graphics, diagrams precise)

 

i have single document turn book of around 200 pages. want simple: want 'chapters' , 'sections'  in book. , want table of contents. , want use numbers in footers/headers. must possible, keep getting stuck results not want.

 

i not looking splitting book project multiple indd documents , collecting these in indesign book document. gives me lot of complexity of linking these different documents not need. looking internally structure document.

 

i have tried create 2 paragraph styles ("heading 1" , "heading 2"). have made these styles numbered. problem one, cannot get

1. chapter name

text text text

1.1 section name

test text text

 

i tried using "chaptering" number , set level 2 "heading 2" style,

1. chapter name

text text text

1. section name

text text text

 

when having chapter introduction , numbering it. when create table of contents, can ry want, "heading 1" entry gets formatted in main flow, while "heading 2"  entry gets own toc style. double numbers, toc numbers , entry has number, like

 

contents

1. 1. introduction

 

i have serached around video or page.document shows need have hierarchically numbered 'chapters' in document, have been unable find it. can gove me link makes clear?

have seen document:

you should change "level" setting second level heading.
