Overview of an identifier screen

An identifier screen is a special type of screen that has multiple variants of its User Interface (UI), and each variant corresponds to an unique identifier. Therefore, such a screen is called an identifier screen. For example, Address Display screens. These screens behave in the same manner but have different address formats based on the locale.

The UI to be displayed is determined by the application at runtime, based on certain data or conditions that return the unique identifier to be used. For example, Identifier Query and Identifier ID. Identifier screens are used when the UI, which includes the widgets shown and their layout, vary significantly but the underlying behavior or APIs called from the screen remain same.

Note: When you add a new identifier widget, you must use the Identifier Query property. You can use the Identifier ID property as well. However, if you use Identifier ID, it takes precedence over Identifier Query.
