Clutch IDs

How HerpClutch generates a unique reference for each Clutch.

Each Clutch has a Clutch ID that gives the record a unique reference.

How Clutch IDs work

  • The Clutch ID is generated automatically when you create a Clutch.
  • A Species/code and the year may contribute to the generated identifier.
  • Sequence numbering is managed by the app.

Example

A Clutch ID may look like this:

CBP26-0001

This is only an example. The generated identifier depends on the Species and year, so it is not the same prefix for every Clutch.
