【转帖】configuration id other than configuration name

configuration "id" other than configuration name
as solution partner, we are building an integration with solidworks with our plm application. our question is: is there a part (or assembly) configuration identifier other than the actual configuration name?
let me explain a use case, maybe there is a different solution other than the one we have indicated here. we need to create a permanent correspondence between a part configuration and an item in our system. we have acomplished this and it works just fine, however the correspondence is tied to the configuration name. if a user renames the configuration, this correspondence is lost. if we had some other way to create this correspondence (e.g. a configuration id that cannot be edited by the user), renaming configuration names would not be a problem.
any ideas?
we appreciate any assistance you may provide us
thanks
