(9/15/17 email):
When you hover over the "remove" icon in the search prompt builder of web admin on an existing search, it will show you the search prompt id.
If you create a new search, then open it to check the ID's, they will show as zero until you refresh the browser.
BB to Cristina: There are a few other areas where ID present in Web Admin. We should probably add these as test cases. Specifically on the search itself, you can get the search ID.
Hunter: It was intended as a bit of a hidden feature to mostly help support and people using the API since they otherwise would have to look in the database or inspect the requests to find that value. ID values also are displayed in a similar fashion when hovering icons on cards for archives, fields, databases, and searches themselves.
The need for refreshing for that data to be available is that its not otherwise present because the admin interface functions on a set of cached data and when new elements are created for things like search conditions we don't get access to those IDs until a new request for the data is made.
CP: Thanks Hunter for the details. I’ll make sure we add steps to our Web Admin TC to verify IDs are displayed for archives, fields, DBs and searches.
BB: It's something we will handle with documentation. Meg, if you have questions on this, see me.
