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:
# ''Local ID NamePrefix'' from the Local ID generator
# divider (usually hyphen) i.e. -
# ''System Name'' set in IMSMA Client Configuration Tool (optional)
# divider (usually hyphen) i.e. -
# ''Incremented 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''.

| '''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 {{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.”
|-
| '''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.
