==Country Structure Auxiliary Data==__NOEDITSECTION__The country Country structure represents a gazetteer, or the political or administrative divisions within a country. In IMSMA<sup>NG</sup>{{IMSMANG}}, the country Country structure allows a mine action programme Mine Action Programme to link mine action information to areas and report statistics such as number of hazards victims per province or district. So the country Country structure should be set up before beginning data entry.
Ideally, a mine action programme Mine Action Programme uses an official, countrywide country structure that ensures mine action information is compatible with other national datasets. Implementing an existing gazetteer requires two steps:
# defining the levels of the country Country structure# defining the areas nodes of the country Country structure
===Define the Country Structure Levels===__NOEDITSECTION__
{{HowTo's
|[[Setup Country Structure Levels in a New Installation]]|[[Change a Country Structure Level Name]]|[[Remove a Country Structure LevelHierarchy manager]]
}}
Defining the levels of the country Country structure includes defining the number of levels and the names of the levels. For example, a programme may wish to implement a four-level in one country the Country structurehas four levels, while another programme wants to use a country has five-level country levels in the Country structure. The figure below shows an example of each option, and the levels are not called the same in all countries.

{{Important|When the country Country structure is established, it is not possible easy to add intermediate levels within the country Country structure, so careful thought must be given to correctly establishing the country Country structure prior to entering data.}}
{{note| To add, change, or remove country structure levels, you must have the Country Structure permission.
===Define the Country Structure===__NOEDITSECTION__
When defining the Country Structure nodes, it may be desirable to add only the nodes for the portions of the country affected by mines rather than the entire official country structure. This reduces the amount of data in {{IMSMANG}} to only that which is important, improving performance and usability when entering and searching for data.
As with all data elements objects in {{IMSMANG}}, the country Country structure supports the incorporation of Custom Defined Fields (CDFs) to augment predefined data fields. These fields can be used to collect and track information such as population, numbers of families and other socioeconomic and infrastructure information that is helpful in planning mine action Mine Action activities.
{{note|
* For ease of access, it is recommended to associate {{IMSMANG}} locations the majority of the Locations with one level of the levels in the country Country structure, normally the lowest level such as town or village. * Setting If the preferred map extent for each area allows users to is set {{IMSMANG}} automatically zoom and centre the map automatically on when the user clicks in the area from Country structure pane in the main navigation window.* Adding alternative Alternative names for areas lets users incorporate official may be in different languages and unofficial names for areas alphabets. It is also common to add PCode as well as internationally recognized PCodesan alternative name.}}
