IMSMANG 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 field reports Data Entry Forms entered into IMSMANG. 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.

*Information managers can also create an individual local ID for each field report 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-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 the local ID generator or the ID field entirely to prevent users from accidentally creating new local IDs for existing items.
