📘 Screen: Short Identification (Subtype)
Short ID (Ide. Res. in the Portuguese menu) is the abbreviation of Short Identification — also called IDERES. It is a subgroup of the activity type. It is used to give more detail on what was done within the same work order type — for example, within "Crop protection spraying", to tell what that application was for.

🧩 Main function
Create a second classification level below the Work Order/Activity Type. The chosen identification goes into the header of the work order, next to the activity type and the team, and lets you analyze the data in more detail in reports and dashboards.
📝 Setup fields

🔗 Link to the activity type
You can restrict which identifications each activity type offers. This link is made in the Work Order/Activity Type setup: there you indicate the valid identifications for that type, and the work order then shows only those.
It's worth doing: without the restriction, the operator sees the whole list and may choose an identification that has nothing to do with the activity.
- Activities are classified on two levels, not just by type
- Reports and dashboards allow a more detailed analysis of what was done
- By linking identifications to the right types, the list the operator sees stays short and consistent
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is the Short Identification (IDERES)?
It is a subgroup of the activity type, entered in the work order header. It is used to give more detail on what was done within the same work order type.
How do I limit the identifications that appear for an activity type?
In the Work Order/Activity Type setup, by indicating which identifications apply to it. The work order then shows only those.
The identification doesn't show up on the work order. Why?
Check that it is Active and that it is among the identifications enabled for that activity type — when the type restricts the list, only the ones indicated appear.
I can't delete an identification. What should I do?
When it has already been used in a work order, the system does not allow deleting it — that would lose the history. Uncheck the Active field: it stops showing up in the lists and the old records stay intact.
