Identifier Types

You can create additional identifier types to provide extensions to party attributes. For example, you can create an additional identifier type to record a person's passport number.

You can select which party types can use the additional identifier type. These party types can be account or contact, or both. You can also specify whether the value of an identifier type must be unique. For example, the passport number listed under each person's profile must be unique.

Additional identifier types don't automatically appear in the UI. To use identifier types in the application, you must call the Trading Community Member Name and Identifier Setup web service.
