Configuration: Unique ID

The 'IO_UNIQUEID' is a system generated ID that allows for the possible reuse of a Quick Reference.

Note

As a practice, reuse of Quick References should be avoided.

All records have an identifier that distinguishes them from other records. Quick References (QuickRefs) are used in Diligent Entities as a field identifier, but can be changed, copied, recreated, or reused. A Unique ID will create a foreign key that is primarily used for bidirectional feeds. The IO_UNIQUEID is a system generated ID that allows for the possible reuse of a QR.

Unique Identifiers can be refreshed by using the link in the Configuration Page. New Unique IDs will update the associated Total without UID count.

To locate the Unique IDs section:

  • Navigate to: System Tools > Data Exchange Manager > Configuration > Unique IDs (section)
  • (As required) Select Refresh.

The Total Without UID count will be updated.
