Determining the typeid

From SmartWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

When using Advanced Logic or Visibility Condition for standard fields, you may wish to restrict based on the Level 1 Template or Level 2 Type of the associated record.

The syntax of the conditional statements refers to the typeid, which is the system's numerical value associated with each Template or Type.

Level 1 Template

In order to determine the typeid of a Level 1 template:

  • Go to the list of Templates on the UTA Settings page.
  • Click on the hyperlinked name of the relevant Template in the left-hand pane.
  • The typeid will be displayed at the top of the page, captioned "Template ID."

  • Right-click on the name of the relevant template in the left-hand pane and select Properties
  • Within the address displayed it will list the numerical typeid for that Template:

Level 2 Type

In order to determine the typeid of a Level 2 type:

  • Go to the list of Types on the UTA Settings page.
  • Click on the hyperlinked name of the relevant Type in the left-hand pane.
  • The typeid will be displayed at the top of the page, with the caption "Type ID."

Alternate Method

  • Go to the list of Types on the UTA Settings page.
  • Right-click on the name of the relevant type in the left-hand pane and select Properties
  • Within the address displayed it will list the numerical typeid for that Type (it will be called statusid in the address).
Important: Within the address it will be called statusid rather than typeid.

You should still use typeid when referring to it for Advanced Logic, Visibility Conditions or scripts.
