ID conventions

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

All resources have unique numeric IDs, such as applicant ID, application ID, tracker ID and institution ID.

IDs carry no meaning or information
IDs are permanent and will never change
There may be gaps between IDs
Deleted IDs are never reused

Some resources have unique properties, such as a tracker code or a flag name. While these properties uniquely identify a resource, they cannot be used as IDs. These properties may change over time, and an ID must remain constant throughout the life of the resource.
