The primary mechanism IMSMANG uses for sharing information is the field report. As discussed in Chapter 1, field reports contain the vast majority of IMSMANG data and are the sole repository for entering operational information into the system. So, exporting and importing field reports let information managers easily share information between IMSMANG systems and other IMSMANG tools such as IMSMANG Remote Entry and IMSMA Mobile. Information managers can share large or small amounts of data directly with other IMSMANG users whether they are working together in the same programme or in separate countries.
Field report information may be exported and imported in either of two formats, maXML and MDMLformat. Table provides an overview of the formats including the type of information sharing they support.
