ID Spaces

ID spaces describe what area of the application the object is located in. Objects sharing an ID space cannot have the same ID, whereas objects in different ID spaces can have the same ID. When referencing a particular object, it is important to know what ID space the object is located in. Otherwise, a token expression to get that object might cause an error or returned unexpected results.

For most objects, right-clicking the object in Configuration Studio and selecting Template Listing will display token expressions containing the ID space of the object.

get
