(v1) .How to get RECID values v2019.4

RECIDs can be accessed from several methods. The 'API', 'AdHoc Grids', Database query access, 'History Report', or 'Sharing' links can provide this information.  Make sure to consult the Data Dictionary to verify what application record contains the RECID needed.

API

Using the SQL Endpoint, Users can execute SQL queries that look up a specific record.  Using a SELECT statement, Users can add the RECID column to the list of fields to see for your SELECT.  The return response from the API will look something like:

{
    "status": "success",
    "page": "1",
    "count": 1,
    "total_count": "1",
    "results": {
            "RECID": "433",
            "TENANTS_RECID": "0",
            "MODIFIED_DATE": "2018-01-16 15:30:48",
            "MODIFIED_BY": "00137148",
            "USERID": "01178496",
            "CONTACTS_RECID": "21945"
        },
	"debug": {
        "APIKEY": "gXafmC5zgTv4VRI4GvXdyd7x2lmWmCQJ",
        "TYPEFORMAT": "sql.json",
        "SQL": "SELECT RECID, TENANTS_RECID, MODIFIED_DATE, MODIFIED_BY, USERID, CONTACTS_RECID FROM USERS WHERE USERID = '01178496'",
        "request_method": "POST",
        "LIMIT": "20",
        "PAGE": "1",
        "TENANTS_RECID": "0",
        "type": ""
    }
}


AdHoc Grids

Using an AdHoc Grid Users can use the Query Builder to construct an SQL Query to find the RECID you need.  All Tables have a RECID column to identify each record of that table.

AdHoc Grid Example

Database Query Access

Using the Organization's Database Access Client (such as HediSQL or Oracle SQL Developer) Users can connect to the Database directly, and construct the SQL Query to look up the RECID needed.

History Report

When accessing the 'History Report' Menu Option on a Form, a User can find the RECID at the top of the page.  The History Report calls out the RECID as the 'Record ID'.

Options Menu Example

History Report Example

PCR-360 allows for Users to share specific records to other authorized Users by use of direct links to the record in question. Open the Options Menu on the Form, and select the "Get Link" Option.

Get Link Form Example

At the end of the link to the form is the RECID for that specific record.

Admin Access

Users with Admin Privileges have access to viewing REC IDs on a normal Grid. To get the RED ID, click the Grid Preferences and check the box for ROW ID.
