Index of IDs in Audience Manager
Overview
Audience Manager uses multiple IDs to identify and manage the data you send to it. Refer to this article for the complete list of Audience Manager IDs, together with examples of the prefixes you should use them with.
ID Prefixing
While you can refer to most of these IDs by their standalone names, most of them are meant to be used with various prefixes, when passing in data through DCS calls. Some of these IDs are used by Audience Manager without being exposed to users, while others are also visible in the user interface (UI).
To understand the prefixes used in the following examples, see Supported Attributes for DCS API Calls.

Usage and Examples
User Interface Location
AAM UUID
Adobe Audience Manager Unique User ID, also known as Device ID. A numerical, 38-digit device ID that Audience Manager associates to each device it interacts with. Think of this ID whenever you see a mention of unique users in the Audience Manager UI. Audience Manager saves this ID as a cookie in the
demdex.net 3rd party domain.In DCS calls,
Example:
uuid is preceded by the d_ prefix.Example:
d_uuid = 07955261652886032950143702505894272138You can filter traits by Device ID when creating Look-Alike Models, and building segments. You can also filter results by Device ID when running General Reports for Traits and Trend Reports for Traits.
ImsOrgId
Organization ID. This is the ID that a company is provided with upon signing up for an Experience Cloud account.

ECID, MID
Experience Cloud ID. The Experience Cloud ID (ECID, legacy abbreviations MID or MCID) is derived mathematically from your Organization ID and the Audience Manager Unique User ID. As long as these IDs remain constant, generating the right ECID for a specific user is simply a math problem. With the same Organization ID and Audience Manager UUID you get the same ECID value every time. You can read more about the ECID in the Cookies and Experience Cloud ID documentation.
mid = 08382830887934830189014177072406221371Not visible in the Audience Manager user interface.

d_sid=289983.A Trait ID is assigned to each trait, and visible in the user interface, in the Traits page.
SID
Segment ID. The Segment ID uniquely identifies segments in the Audience Manager environment.

In DCS calls,
Example:
dpid is preceded by the d_ prefix.Example:
d_dpid=39217.A Data Provider ID is assigned to each data source, and visible in the user interface, in the Data Sources page.
DPUUID
Data Provider Unique User ID, also referred to as CRM ID or Cross-Device ID. A third-party ID. This is the ID by which you identify end users in your own CRM system.

In DCS callls,
Example
dpuuid is preceded by the d_ prefix.Example
d_dpuuid=2132-3423vn-343fds-3432r.You can filter traits by Cross-Device ID when creating Look-Alike Models, and building segments. You can also filter results by Cross-Device ID when running General Reports for Traits and Trend Reports for Traits.

DPUUID.CID, CID_IC
Customer ID, Customer ID Integration Code. The CID and CID_IC key-value pairs replace DPID and DPUUID. They provide the same functions as the DPID and DPUUID, but are more efficient because they include the data provider ID and user ID (or integration code) in a single key-value pair.
In DCS calls, these IDs are preceded by the
Example:
d_ prefix.Example:
d_cid_ic=39217_myIntegrationCode.See
DPID and DPUUID.DAID
