Every Object as a unique ID that distinguishes it from all other objects in the platform.
To get an Object ID:
- Visit https://{domain}/networking/rest/object/{objectName}
- Use the content of the <id> tag
- -or-
- Visit
> Customization > Objects > {Object} - Click Properties
- The Object ID appears at the top of the page, under the Object Name.
Note: For all intents and purposes, the Object Name is synonymous with the Object ID. (Exceptions are carefully noted.) Since the Object Name is human-readable, it is generally preferable to use that. Exceptions:
- In a Multi Object Lookup, the database value contains the object ID, not its name.
- When accessing a Form using a URL to Prefill Form Fields, the object ID must be specified in the URL.
