How to assign an identifier to a UIViewController from the MainStoryboard?

Question

Before I used to allocate and initialize a view controller using initWithNibName, where the parameter for the Nib name is simply the name of the xib/nib file.

However, with the way Xcode/IB works with Storyboards now, I'm not sure what I need to do to initialize a view controller class with it's respective xib/nib.

In my storyboard i have created the view controller and referenced it (from another view controller) and specified it as a Popover type.

Any ideas how this is accomplished?

Thanks.

Apple docs says

To identify a specific view controller or segue inside a storyboard, use Interface Builder to assign it an identifier string that uniquely identifies it.

But I can't figure out how to assign a unique id via IB. How to do this?

I figured it out with this reference aid: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8295471/storyboard-doesnt-contain-a-view-controller-with-identifier — AlvinfromDiaspar, Jul 31 '12 at 19:31

XCode 4.4 and earlier: Identifier; 
XCode 4.5: Storyboard ID

STORYBOARD - doesn't contain a view controller with identifier
