Class Column : id Property


Integer id [read only];

Summary

The internal ID of the column


Remarks

Column IDs should be unique.

In order to avoid conflicts with existing column we suggest using the following formula to generate a new column ID;

YMMDDHHMM

Where Y is the year (5 for 2005), MM is the month (12 for December, 01 for January), DD is the day of the month (25 for Christmas, 01 for new year), HH and MM are hours and minutes when you start writing you script (0030 for 30 minutes past midnight). So for this example we would get 501010030.

Never have a column ID less than 1000 unless you intend to override the behaviour of an existing column

Existing columns at time of writing have the following IDs.
