VidiCore offers support for adding External Id to the following VidiCore objects, such as Items and Collections. This is useful if objects in VidiCore correspond to objects from 3rd party systems. If you assign an external Id to a VidiCore object, you can use both the actual VidiCore Id or the assigned External Id to access the actual VidiCore object.
You will find documentation about the usage of External Id in VidiCore here: https://apidoc.vidispine.com/latest/ref/external-id.html .
VidiFlow comes with new Workflow Tasks which support usage of External Id in workflows: Set Exter-nal Id and Get Object Id.
