What are the Record ID and Master Align ID of a Record in Veeva Align?

  • Updated

Question:

What are the Record ID and Master Align ID of a record in Veeva Align? How can they be retrieved?

Answer:

The Record ID is a unique identifier for any records located in Veeva Vault and in Veeva Align. These IDs exist in a 15-character format and are stored in the ID field of any Vault or Align objects.

IDs can be retrieved in several ways, the most common ones being:

  • Placing the ID field on the Page Layout of any respective Objects
  • Vault Reports or Vault Loader extracts
  • The use of Business Admin

By opening any record in Business Admin, its ID can be retrieved from the URL:

The Master Align ID is another unique identifier solely used by Veeva Align. Its purpose is to clearly identify Align-only records and processes. These IDs exist in a 36-character format and are stored in the master_align_id__aln field of any Objects located in Align.

Master Align IDs can be retrieved in several ways, the most common ones being:

  • Viewing the record's detail in Vault View and in Business Admin. The master_align_id__aln field is placed on in the System Information section of page layout and Business Admin Object Lists of most Align objects by default.
  • Vault Reports or Vault Loader extracts.
