In addition to defining the required information for {{IMSMANG}} items, it is important to define the relevant information to be collected about Auxiliary data. This includes defining and documenting the [[Setup Country Structure Levels in a New Installation|Country Structure]], [[Access the Ordnance Classification List Window|Explosive Ordnance]], [[Organisation List window|Organisation]] and [[Place List window|Place]], such as military bases, hospitals and cultural sites; any additional CDFs that should be created; and any subcategories for each of the Auxiliary data types.
{{New_6.0 | In version 6.0 two classifications used for Victim; Cause and Needs assessment, and Assistance classification used for Assistance. All three are hierarchy tree-structures.}}

==Data Entry Forms and Summaries==__NOEDITSECTION__
A <b>Data Entry Form</b> is a template used for data entry form used to record and store storage of information e.g. about an itema victim.
A The Data Entry Forms for a specific victim are summarised and displayed in a <b>Summary</b> is a summary of all the information collected about an item on Data Entry Forms.
<b>Reconciliation</b> is the process of assigning the information in a Data Entry Form to an existing item or creating a new item/Summary.
All Or with other words, all information is entered into {{IMSMANG}} via a Data Entry Form, a data entry form used to collect information about an item. When a Data Entry Form is completed, it is either reconciled to an existing item (that is, it is determined to be information about an item that already exists in {{IMSMANG}}) or it is reconciled as new (that is, it is determined to be information about an item that does not already exist in {{IMSMANG}}).
With this approach, users can collect and store multiple Data Entry Forms about the same item over time so that the entire history of the item is preserved in the system. The approach also provides a complete audit trail of all changes made to any information so that information managers can answer the question, "What did we know and when did we know it?"
{{IMSMANG}} also provides a constantly updated Summary of the item which represents the sum of information about the item at any given time. As subsequent information is collected about a specific attribute of an item, {{IMSMANG}} updates the item’s Summary on an attribute-by-attribute basis. For example, Data Entry Form #1 collects some initial information about a hazardous land areaLand. It sets the priority to "Medium" and specifies that the land contains AP mines and is 25,000 sqm. Data Entry Form #2 updates information about the land area after a subsequent assessment. The report sets the priority to "High" and specifies the presence of AP and AT mines, but it does not change the size or the status of the land area. Data Entry Form #3 updates the land area's size and status after clearance operations are complete. The figure below shows how the land area's Summary is updated after all three reports are entered into the system.
