Display Public Unique Identifiers for Object Records

The sales application generates a unique number (ID) for each business object record when the record is created. As an administrator, you can configure this ID to make it more user-friendly and readable. This user-friendly value is called the public unique ID (PUID).

Note: Not all objects support public unique IDs.

The PUID values for object records aren't displayed on the UI by default. To make these values visible, add the PUID field of the object to the object page using Application Composer. To do this, you require read-only access to all of the object records and access to Application Composer.

The following are the steps to add the Opportunity Number field to the Opportunities page. The Opportunity Number field displays the PUID value of opportunity records. Follow a similar process for any other objects whose PUID values you want to make available on the UI.

Activate a sandbox.

See the topic Create and Activate Sandboxes for more information.
Select Navigator > Configuration > Application Composer.
On the Application Composer Overview page, navigate to the standard object whose PUID values you want to expose.

For example, expand Opportunity
Select the Pages node.
Select the Application Pages tab.

You can use the links on the tab to navigate to the object's configuration pages, where you can modify the pages that are available for the selected object. You can show or hide fields, rearrange fields, and add your own fields.
The Opportunity Number field shows the PUID value for an opportunity record. To make this field available on the UI, in the Landing Page Layouts region, select Standard Layout, then select Duplicate from the Actions menu.
Enter a name for the new layout, then click Save and Edit.
Locate the Fuse Opportunity Overview Table area and click the Edit icon.
In the Available Fields list, locate the Opportunity Number field and move it to the Selected Fields list.
Click Save and Close.
Test the changes by navigating to the Opportunities page as a user with access to the opportunities pages, for example, a salesperson.
Search for an opportunity, and verify that the PUID value is showing for the opportunity.
Publish the sandbox.
Navigate to the Sales > Opportunities page and search for an opportunity record. The PUID of the opportunity is displayed.

For information on exposing attributes and working with sandboxes, see the Configuring Applications Using Application Composer guide. For information on public unique IDs, see the sales Implementation Reference guide.
