Items Pane

How To
Select Display Columns

Items Pane

The items pane of the IMSMA^NG Main Navigation window consists of tabs for the different items and a toolbar to the right. The buttons interact with the map. The number displayed in brackets on each item tab is the number of records for the item in the selected country structure.

There are three different types of items in the Item pane:

• Location is a special case of item since it has the link to the Country structure and contains items tabs itself
• Task which is an own type since it is neither an Auxiliary data nor an item
• the other items:
  • Land
  • Activity
  • Accident
  • Victim
  • Assistance
  • Education
  • Quality Management

Which Columns Is Displayed

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

Because some columns takes longer time to load, users should be aware that system performance may be affected negatively by adding location fields, country structure fields and many Custom Defined Fields.
