In addition to Summary customisations, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> allows users to customise the columns that are displayed in various data tables within the application including the IMSMA Navigation window and search results windows. Using this functionality, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> users can choose the columns that display in these windows.

Select Display Columns

IMSMANG allows users to customise the columns that are displayed in the item pane (and list windows). Users can choose from all data elements for each item as well as several of the Location data element set. What columns each user has chosen is stored in the database as part of the User Preferences.

Note.jpg Because some columns take longer time to load, users should be aware that system performance may be affected negatively by adding Location fields, Country Structure fields, Linked IDs and many Custom Defined Fields.
New 6.0.png The calculated column Linked IDs have been added in version 6.0.

Item pane interacts with the Country Structure pane

Expand the Country structure tree by clicking on PlusIcon.png until you see the node that you are interested in and then click on the Country Structure name. Clicking the name of a Country Structure will trigger the Items pane to be refreshed which may take time if there are many items.

Display Items in the Map Pane

To display item's geospatial data in the Map Pane:

  1. Ensure that the theme for the item that you would like to display in the Map Pane is enabled.
  2. Ensure that you have activated one of the Display Items in Map Pane functions in the Item pane toolbar.
Note.jpg Rows with a grey background indicate that the item does not have geospatial data associated with it.

The map displays the item's geospatial data. An additional point is displayed to represent the centroid. Note that it may take a few seconds to update the map.

Note.jpg Double-clicking on a symbol in the map is another way of opening the Summary Window for an item.
