A work object ID is a permanent, external identifier of a work object, the value of property pyID. This value has an optional prefix portion, a number, and an optional suffix portion and is unique system-wide.

By convention, an ordinary work object ID has a prefix of W-nnnnn and no suffix, so W-9432 identifies such an object. Conventionally, a cover object ID has the format C-nnnnnn, and a folder object has the format F-nnnnn, where nnnnnn is a system-assigned decimal number.

Normally the system assigns a work object ID automatically as it creates a work object, using a prefix set in the model rule of the work type or work pool. The model is identified on the Process tab of the flow rule.
