The {{IMSMANG}} impact scoring tool computes a score for locations to determine how much the location is affected by the existence of explosive ordnance. The impact scoring tool allows you to select factors—the land, education, and/or victim item attributes—you would like to evaluate. After selecting the factors, you assign weights to each factor. The weight is a numerical value that signifies the importance of the factor relative to other factors, and its effect on the impact score for the location.

{{Reference guide header|The tasking tool allows operations staff to create task ''dossiers'' by grouping useful information for planning and monitoring a ''task''. The tasking tool includes ''land'' to be addressed (that is, the ''objective'' of the task) and ''work items'' such as surveys, clearances, education activities and QMs. Any other related information can be included in the binder.
−
The combination of factors and their weights define a scenario in the impact scoring template. You can define an unlimited number of scenarios with different factors and weights to test and compare the resulting impact scores.
 
  
−
The impact scoring tool allows you to limit the impact scoring to specific country structure areas and time periods. You can customise the scoring ranges which are used to group the locations in classifications that denote levels of impact.  
+
Depending on local standard operating procedures (SOPs), the tasking tool can be used to manage activities for one land or several land, or for monitoring a specific organisation that was tasked.  
  
−
The impact score of a location is the sum of the factor scores. The factor score is calculated by multiplying the weight of the factor with the point value of the factor. The point value of a factor can be determined in one of two ways. If the factor contains a count, the count is used as the point value. For other factors, a point value of 1 is assigned if the factor tests positive. It is important to note that a point value is only assigned once regardless of how many times the factor tests true for the location. This process is repeated for all factors in the scenario.

All the compiled information related to the specified task can be viewed and printed from the task manager or the Task Editor window.

The tasking tool allows operations staff to create task dossiers by grouping useful information for planning and monitoring a task. The tasking tool includes land to be addressed (that is, the objective of the task) and work items such as surveys, clearances, education activities and QMs. Any other related information can be included in the binder.

Depending on local standard operating procedures (SOPs), the tasking tool can be used to manage activities for one land or several land, or for monitoring a specific organisation that was tasked.

All the compiled information related to the specified task can be viewed and printed from the task manager or the Task Editor window.



Viewing Tasks

On the IMSMANG Navigation Window

Tasks can be displayed in the items pane by selecting a specific country structure area.

Filtering the Tasks Displayed

By default, all tasks are listed in the table when the Tasks window is opened. You can limit the tasks displayed in the table by selecting specific filter attributes.

Filtering Tasks

Filtering Tasks

To filter the tasks displayed in the Tasks window:

  1. From the Data Entry menu, select Tasks.
    2. The Tasks window displays.
  2. Select the attribute on which you would like to apply the filter from the Filter drop-down list. Filter options for tasks include:
    • Current Owner – returns tasks owned by the organisation you selected from the list.
    • Current Status – returns tasks with the status value that you selected from the list.
    • Task ID – returns tasks with a task ID that contains the specified value.
    • Task Name – returns tasks with a task name that contains the specified value.
  3. Enter or select a value that the selected attribute must be either similar to or contain. Note that the filter is not case-sensitive.
  4. Click the Apply button.
    5. Tasks passing the filter are listed in the table.

Adding New Tasks

  1. Select Data Entry > Tasks.
  2. Click the Add button.

Viewing Task Status History

The Status History tab displays a list of status updates made to the task. Each time a user changes the status of a task in the Task Editor window, a new record is entered in Task Statuses table. The following information is displayed:

Adding Related Information

  1. Select the Related Information tab in the Task Editor window.
  2. Select auxiliary data, a data entry form item or a task.

Tasks allow you to manage work that is required as part of your mine action process. You can link tasks to standard IMSMANG items or to specific areas on the map, assign task objectives and sub-tasks (called work items), and record other work-related information such as start and end dates, available resources, responsible personnel, and status changes.

Adding Geospatial Data

The geospatial data tab allows you to add, edit, delete, or import geospatial shapes (points, polygons, and polylines) associated with the task. As with other similar windows, you can:

The tasking tool allows operations staff to create task dossiers by grouping useful information for planning and monitoring a task. The tasking tool includes land to be addressed (that is, the objective of the task) and work items such as surveys, clearances, education activities and QMs. Any other related information can be included in the binder.

Depending on local standard operating procedures (SOPs), the tasking tool can be used to manage activities for one land or several land, or for monitoring a specific organisation that was tasked.

All the compiled information related to the specified task can be viewed and printed from the task manager or the Task Editor window.
