→Define the Country Structure Levels
==Define the Country Structure Levels==
Defining the levels of the 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 country structure, while another programme wants to use a five-level country structure. The figure below shows an example of each option.
Figure 15. Example Country Structures
Both the number of levels and the name of each level can be customised to match the programme’s existing country structure. Ideally, the country structure in IMSMANG covers all levels of the existing country structure, from the country level down to a level that can be represented with a single point such as a town, city or village.

If a programme has special areas or districts that are not consistent with the defined country structure levels, the programme can insert artificial or unofficial areas to keep the country structure consistent across the entire country.
{{Important|When the country structure is established, it is not possible to add intermediate levels within the country structure, so careful thought must be given to correctly establishing the country structure prior to entering data}}
