# identifier

A string that uniquely identifies the tool in the picker.

## Declaration

```occ
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString * identifier;
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, you might use the name com.example.example-company.custom-tool. If you use multiple tool items with the same identifier to create the picker, the picker only shows the first instance of that item.
