Hi mym607,

Please let me know if I've misunderstood your question. To get the ID of a specific ItemType that you'd find on the TOC (EX: Part), here are the steps.

Log in as Admin

In the Administration section of the TOC, perform a search on the ItemType ItemType

Search for the Part ItemType

Right-click on the Part result in the search grid and select properties

Copy ID button.

If you're looking for a specific Item ID, the process is essentially the same. Every Item has a properties page which contains the ID of the item, and this also counts for ItemTypes, because everything is an Item.

    Is it possible to implement JavaScript code?

      I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. If you wanted to get the id of a specific itemType in a JS method, you could do something similar to the following:

      var newItem = inn.newItem("part","get");

      newItem.setProperty("name", {YOUR ITEMTYPE NAME});

      newItem = newItem.apply;

      var id = newItem.getID();

      This can get whatever ItemType you're looking for and extract the ID. Let me know if I've misunderstood your question.
