Object Type Identifier
From LongJump Support Wiki
An object type identifier uniquely identifies an object type. It is used to specify object types in APIs.
There are two kinds of type identifiers:
- objectName: This identifier is a human-readable name for both Built-in or CRM objects and Custom Objects.
- objectID: This identifier is a human-readable name for Built-in or CRM objects (e.g. CASE), but for Custom Objects, it is a computer-generated string with no humanly-interpretable semantic value (e.g. 123qwe456rty).
- See also:
- Session Identifier - session identifier
- Record Id - record id
Find the Object Type Identifier
To find the object type identifier for an object:
- Click Designer > Objects > {object}
- The Object Name is displayed at the top of the page.
(To see the object ID, click the section-expansion (triangle) icon next to it. )
Note: The Object Name is typically used as the identifier, because it is human-readable for both Built-in or CRM objects and Custom Objects. Object ID can be used, as well, but it is only human-readable for Built-in or CRM objects.
