Object Identity (TOBIS) tab

Object identity is an important part of the EID specification, as it specifies which part of the incoming metadata should be utilized to identify the object within that domain, both presently and in the future.

Each object can possess multiple identification numbers, such as GUIDs, which are recognized by a specific external system. This capability enables HDC to identify the object in case an update is transmitted during the subsequent data exchange session.

Object Identity (TOBIS) Tab

The TOBIS (Tessel OBject Identity Server) serves as a tool for managing GUIDs and other IDs associated with a single object across various data sources (External Domains).

The Object Identity tab allows users to designate object fields that function as GUIDs or IDs within external domains. This information will then be utilized to match objects or locate them based on their external identity fields.
