What are these Correlation id and Correlation Display fields for?

I would create a new field for each integration.   That way you know exactly what the data is for instead of having to check to different fields, one for the actual link and the other the integration it belongs to.


Personally, I would maybe (but each case is different) make a table related to the record to manage multiple integrations, this way we could update the multiple 3rd party environments without mixing everything up, maybe have multiple "comments" specific by 3rd party...



I think one of the question will be to know if your integrations are "one way master / slave" or if the updates could come from the different tools

thanks for replies. we are leaning towards creating one new field on all required CI tables to hold new   integration system's unique id .Just like Jim said above. one unique id for one integration system .This seems to be easier than using two fields -correlation display and id.


@john_andersen- Can we use the same field for migration too? For ex  - Suppose I am migrating change tickets from BMC Helix to ServiceNow. When creating a transform map, should I be relating the change request number in BMC Helix to coorelation ID in ServiceNow? Thanks
