Ironclad ID Overview

Ariana Kemp
  • Updated

This topic will provide you with a basic overview of Ironclad IDs.

 

Every workflow and corresponding record has an associated Ironclad ID. The Ironclad ID acts as a contract’s unique identifier throughout its entire lifecycle. When you archive a workflow, the resulting record shares the workflow’s Ironclad ID. If you upload a record directly to the Repository it will be assigned a unique Ironclad ID.

 

Format

The format of an Ironclad ID is a standard prefix (IC) and a number that increases sequentially based on the the creation or upload date of the workflow or record. . For example, “IC-1”. The standard prefix is “IC” for all companies. If you want to customize the prefix, reach out to Ironclad Support.

Location

The Ironclad ID can be found in three places:

Location    Example
The Info panel of a workflow. InfoPanel.avif
The metadata of a record, located under Other Contract Info. OtherContract.avif
The Dashboard or Repository as a column. You can manually add a new column for the Ironclad ID. The Ironclad ID is then included in your exports. Column.avif
