Client Key Aliases

A Client Key alias is a field that you can add to a user-inserted record with any value you choose to enter. For example, it is commonly used to identify inserted records from another database. For example, a client key alias might be a field named Accounts Receivable, which holds a value that represents a customer account number from your organization's accounting records.

NOTE: Creating a client key alias does not set the value. It creates an alias for a value.
