Overview

You are interested in learning what a record UID is, and how it is calculated.

Information

A UID or RecID is a unique identifier for a record constructed from the Station and Serial numbers for the record, and which may be preceded by a code identifying the Info Area. It is used in several areas of the product, including URLs for the records in CRM.web. They usually appear in the form of a hexadecimal code.

Please refer to the following articles for more information:

• Calculating the UID or RECID from a Record's StaNo and SerNo

Record UIDs on the Client

The client uses plain JavaScript objects to specify record UIDs:

var uid = { infoAreaId: "FI", recordId:"x12345678" };

Record UIDs on the Server

On the server, a record UID is represented by the value type update.Crm.Contracts.RecordUid:

var uid = RecordUid.Parse("FI", "x12345678");
