{{IMSMANG}} comes with a default local ID generator scheme/series per item, but there is no limit to how many different scheme/series can be created. It is recommended to create at least one local ID generator scheme/series per item subcategory. For example, create a local ID generator scheme/series for Completion Reports and another for Clearance reports. Also, establishing a convention for the local ID generators makes it easy to understand and find data.
{{note|
*Information managers can also create an individual local ID for each Data Entry Form template that indicates the kind of information in the form. For example, a Completion Report can have a local ID beginning with “FR“DEF-CR-” to give users an immediate understanding of the content of the form.*For templates intended to update existing items, such as status change templates, information managers can remove exclude the local item ID generator or the ID field entirely to prevent users from accidentally creating new local IDs for existing items.
