Get a View ID

To get the ID for a view:

1. Go to Workspace > {object}
2. Use your browser's page-inspection tools to retrieve the ID of the view. For example, assume that the view you want is called "Open Orders". Then:
   • In Chrome:
     1. Click the dropdown next to the View: label (just above the list of records, in the left corner).
        The dropdown list is now open.
     2. Right click the view label and choose Inspect Element.
   • In FireFox, use the FireBug plugin:
     1. Right click and choose Inspect Element.
        The FireBug console opens.
     2. Click the HTML tab
     3. Search for the name of the view ("Open Orders")
   • In all browsers, display the page source and search for the name of the view.

The call you've found looks like this:

<a href=​"javascript:​lj_changeCurrentTabView('Service?s=1139&a=...&id=...

&show_layout={form_id}&object_id=...')​;​" ...>Open Orders​</a>​

Extract value of the form ID from the show_layout parameter.
