Changes

IMSMANG IMSMA^NG provides a local identifier (local ID) data element for each item category or subcategory, which when used on data entry forms allows information managers to track items and Data Entry Forms entered into IMSMANGIMSMA^NG. These local ID data elements enable data entry clerks to click a button and insert an automatically generated ID rather than enter one manually, helping to reduce duplicate local IDs in the system.

IMSMANG IMSMA^NG comes with a default local ID type per item, but there is no limit to how many different types can be created. It is recommended to create at least one local ID type per item subcategory. For example, create a local ID type for completion reports, another for clearance reports and another for minefields. Also, establishing a convention for the local ID types makes it easy to understand and find data.

| '''System Name''' || A value specified in the Client Configuration Tool of the IMSMANG IMSMA^NG TrayLauncher where system administrators can set a separate system name for each installation of IMSMANGIMSMA^NG. For example, the Headquarters installation could have “HQ” as a system name while a regional installation could have “R1.”
