Profile attachments - where to file field identifiers

Posted by Anonymous (not verified) on in Standard Integration Questions

How do I find the numeric internal identifier for custom data fields?

I'm looking at this page on Binary Files and it mentions this definition of Field ID {fieldID}
The name of the field to retrieve. For custom fields, the format is field and then a numeric internal identifier such as field1234.

Using the 'Download Personal Data File' feature withing the ICIMS application, many attached files can be exported. I'm assuming they're available using the profile API as well (similar to the Binary Files example working with Resume documents).

What I'm trying to do is pull out profile Attachments (items found on the Attachments tab for a persons profile) through the API.

You can export a list of all custom fields from a client platform or if you are looking for specific custom field ids, you can work with the client System Admin or ICIMS Customer Support to identify specific fields. https://community.icims.com/s/
