SalesForce cid codes for URLs

Options

Hi,

Where in SalesForce can we locate campaign CIDs, similar to:
?cid=701600000009eU2
To identify marketing campaigns.

Thanks,

Zach

Record ID's are not visible through the UI, you can only see them in Reports.  If you need to display a Record ID through the UI you need to create a custom formula field.


Code:
DataType(Text)

Formula =  Id

That's not entirely true.  The record ID of a given record is always visible in the URL.  Say you're looking at a campaign and its URL is:

https://na1.salesforce.com/701300000008u2P

Then you know that its ID (and therefore its cid param) is going to be 701300000008u2P.

But yes, if you want to actually view it on the page as if it were a record field, then you'll need a formula field as Stevemo suggests.
