The Local ID Generatorof a Data Entry Template is built up five parts:# ''Prefix''.</li>::The from the Local ID Generator window displays.generator<li>Click the [[File:Add# divider (usually hyphen) i.png|20px|<span title=""></span> | Add]] buttone.</li>-::The Local ID Generator window displays. [[File:AddLocalIDGeneratorWindow.png|240px|# ''Add a local ID generatorSystem Name'']]set in IMSMA Client Configuration Tool (optional)# divider (usually hyphen) i.e. -<li>Enter the name for the new local ID generator in the # '''PrefixNext Number''' field.</li>::from the Local ID generators are typically comprised of the following components:generator::[Local ID Name]-[System Name]-[Incremented Number]. For example, which for an Activity may look like ''CR-MAG HQ-1'' or for a Victim ''Vic-MACC3-4581''.

| '''Local ID NamePrefix''' || A text string that represents the item category or subcategory. For example, a completion report could be represented by “CR.”

| '''System Name''' || A value specified in the Client Configuration Tool of the IMSMA^NG {{IMSMANG}} [[Starting and Stopping IMSMANG | TrayLauncher ]] where system administrators can set a separate system name for each installation of IMSMA^NGcomputer where {{IMSMANG}} is installed. For example, the Headquarters installation MAG Head quarter's computer could have “HQ” “MAG HQ” as a system name while a regional installation could have “R1“ MAG R1.”

| '''Incremented Next Number''' || A value that increases with 1 each time a new ID is generated. Information managers can specify the next number to be generated when the local ID generator button is clicked. For example, a new local ID starting with CR-MAG HQ-1 and proceeding to CR-MAG HQ-2 and so on will be generated each time the Completion Report local ID generator is clicked.

IMSMA will automatically assign the next sequential number to each subsequent object of the same type that is added to IMSMA. See the following table for an example of how local IDs are assigned.</li>  [[File:Example Assignment of a Local ID.png|440px|''Table 49.Example Assignment of a Local ID'']]

::If you do not want to save the local ID generator, click the '''Cancel''' button.</li><li> Click the '''Done''' button to close the Local ID Generator window and return to the IMSMA Navigation window.</li>
