For example, an existing “Mine Action Area Type” data element for hazards could include the values that are listed on the left side of the figure below. However, information managers can deactivate the values that their programmes don’t use and add the values that they do, as shown on the right side of the figure.
This lets information managers track the individual types of hazards they defined and documented in Chapter 1. Likewise, the ability to modify existing data elements gives information managers fine control over all the data elements they want to track in IMSMANG and how they are tracked.
