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 System Objects and Custom Objects.
- objectID: This identifier is a human-readable name for System 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 an object type identifier:
- Click > Customization > Objects
- In the Display Title column, find the object you're looking for.
- The Object Name column has the identifier you need.
Alternatively:
- Go to > Customization > Objects > {object}
- Click Properties
- The object name appears at the top of the page
Note:
- For objects that are not listed, see the System Objects page.
- The Object Name is typically used as the identifier, because it is human-readable for both System Objects and Custom Objects. Object ID can be used, as well, but it is human-readable only for System Objects.
