Exporting Opportunity Record IDs from Webview

Lauren Laitman

Is there a way to export a list of Opportunities from the webview that includes the Opportunity Record ID? I haven’t been able to find this option, and it would be really helpful to have the Opportunity ID available within the Webview query.

Has anyone else come across this or found a good solution?

Joe Moretti

There is no way to export that, but I have to ask, what is the point of even having that. I run Opportunity reports all the time and never saw a need for that, in fact it never even crossed my mind.

You can access the Opportunity System Record ID through Opportunity lists : when you export a list, the column is automatically added, like the URL. It's not avalaible in Query unfortunately, so I sometimes have to combine a Query and a List to get the result I want.

Agree with @Joe Moretti - Can you explain a bit more about your use case?

Karen Diener

Regardless of your use case, there are only two options that I'm aware of. One is Delphine's suggestion - which I personally haven't tried but I believe her - and the other is to Export from database view. In export, it is known as the system record ID. It is available in the API but I suspect that helps you even less!
