Question:
There are times when I need to get the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) for a particular document in Spitfire. Sometimes I need to get the GUID for the Doc type. How can I get this information?
Answer:
There are a few ways to get this information. Note: to get the GUID for a specific document, you need to be in the document.
The WCC Info window:
- If you are in the document, double-click next to the Powered by Spitfire logo at the bottom. The WCC Info pop up window will appear.
- If you want the GUID for the specific document, click the copy icon next to DataPK =.
- If you want the GUID for the Doc type, click the copy icon next to DocTypeKey= .
- In either case, the GUID will remain in your clipboard, ready for you to paste where you need it.
Another way to get the GUID for your document:
- Look at the URL for your document on your browser’s tab. The string that follows ID= is the GUID.
- Copy that string and paste it where you need it.
Another way to get the GUID for the Doc type:
- Go to the Doc Types tool on the System Admin Dashboard.
- Find the Doc type you want.
- Click the “key” icon. This will place the GUID of that Doc type into your clipboard.
- Paste the GUID where needed.
