An identifier is an arbitrary number(eg 101, 101.1b) you assign. It has 2 purposes. It is a quick way of identifying a particular option. And its existence indicates that an option is Standard. Standard options appear in a separate section (from Non-Standard) on the Unit Sheets.
A Short Name is used in conjunction with Option Name to create a matrix of option choices on the Completion Schedule with Options and Options reports. For example, the following options might exist:
Option Name: Fridge and Short Name: SS Option Name: Fridge and Short Name: BLK
The result will be that a column for Fridge will be automatically created in the two reports:
Completion Schedule with Revenue Options Detail Table.
The column will include SS or BLK depending on which option was chosen for each unit.
