Permanent IDs

PermanentIDs are used to restore a complete meta configuration.

Generating a PermanentID

1. Open the WebKatalog with the parameter buttongeneratereinitid=true:

https://web.3doffice.de/webkatalog2_5/planning?buttongeneratereinitid=true

2. As soon as an article is loaded, a "Generate ID" button appears in the admin area under "PermanentId"
3. Clicking it generates the ID for the current configuration and shows it in a notification window
4. The ID is passed with the parameter permanentid

• IDs generated on rest.3doffice.de → not available on web.3doffice.de
• IDs generated on web.3doffice.de → not available on rest.3doffice.de
