Auxiliary Data
The XLS Import feature allows you to import data entry form data or auxiliary data (organisations, explosive ordnance, places, assistance classifications, needs classifications, cause classifications, and country structure levels) into IMSMA using a Microsoft Excel file. This allows mine action personnel without IMSMA access to collect data in a format that can be entered into the system. The XLS Import feature also aids in data migration activities.
