Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | Support notes |
|---|---|---|---|

| asyncContext | array, boolean, null, number, object, string, or undefined | A user-defined item of any type that is returned in the AsyncResult object without being altered. | |
| callback | object | A function that is invoked when the callback returns, whose only parameter is of type AsyncResult. |
Callback Value
When the function you passed to the callback parameter executes, it receives an AsyncResult object that you can access from the callback function's only parameter.
In the callback function passed to the goToByIdAsync method, you can use the properties of the AsyncResult object to return the following information.
| Property | Use to... |
|---|---|
| AsyncResult.value | Always returns undefined because there is no data or object to retrieve when clearing formats. |
| AsyncResult.status | Determine the success or failure of the operation. |
| AsyncResult.error | Access an Error object that provides error information if the operation failed. |
| AsyncResult.asyncContext | Access your user-defined object or value, if you passed one as the asyncContext parameter. |
