      You can use any External ID you need, as long as it is unique, but it is recommended that you use a naming convention for troubleshooting, such as the following:

      REX-[Configuration Area]-[Detail Group]-[Sequence Number]

      For example, the external ID of the first custom question in the list of questions related to plagiarism can be formed as follows:

      REX-CQ-PL-01
      • The [Configuration Area] segment is populated with CQ, an abbreviation for the Custom Questions configuration area.
      • The [Detail Group] segment is populated with PL, an abbreviation for plagiarism.
      • The [Sequence Number] segment is populated with 01.
      Additionally, specifically for custom questions, you can add an additional identifier at the end of the external ID to indicate the type of response, for example:
      • REX-CQ-PL-01x, where x indicates a text response.
      • REX-CQ-PL-01-Y or REX-CQ-PL-01-N, where -Y and -N indicate a yes or no response.
      Important: External IDs that are referenced in Author Portal must be entered exactly as they appear in ScholarOne. For example, if the ScholarOne External ID is REX-CQ-PL-01-Y, then in Author Portal it must be entered exactly the same, and not REX-CQ-PL-01-y, with a lower case y.
