Local ID generators are used when generating a Local ID in a Data Entry Form. The Local ID of a Data Entry Template is built up five parts:
# ''Prefix'' from the Local ID generator
# divider (usually hyphen) i.e. -
# ''System Name'' set in IMSMA Client Configuration Tool (optional)
# divider (usually hyphen) i.e. -
# ''Next Number'' from the Local ID generator
which for an Activity may look like ''CR-MAG HQ-1'' or for a Victim ''Vic-MACC3-4581''.

| '''Prefix''' || 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 {{IMSMANG}} [[Starting and Stopping IMSMANG | TrayLauncher]] where system administrators can set a separate system name for each computer where {{IMSMANG}} is installed. For example, the MAG Head quarter's computer could have “MAG HQ” as a system name while a regional installation could have “ MAG R1.”
|-
| '''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.

<li>In the '''Next Number''' field, enter the number you want to assign to the next object of that type that is added to IMSMA.
IMSMA will automatically assign the next sequential number to each subsequent object of the same type that is added to IMSMA. </li>

::[Local ID Name]-[System Name]-[Incremented Number]. For example, CR-HQ-1.
