Component ID vs Metadata ID vs Saved Query ID

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Good day,

Is there a difference between these 3 IDs? I would appreciate clarifying the difference, please.

Also, How can I find the Component ID if I have an online system?

Thank you

Simon

    RE: Component ID vs Metadata ID vs Saved Query ID

    Hi Stemplar,

    all crm objects have an unique identifier (Guid).

    Solution use this unique identifier naming it as "ComponentId".

    Objects which inherits MetadataBase (link Entity or Attribute) are identified by MetadataId.

    Other objects (like a web resource o web page) are identified by ther unique identifier.

    Hope it helps!

    Hi,

    Component is any crm component like entity, optionset, etc.  Here is teh list of all components-

    You have different views for an entity. SavedQuery is the schema name of the View. SavedQueryId is the unique id of the View.

    I am not sure about metadata id. Haven't heard it before.

    What is this in reference to?

    Hope this helps.
