To display a Country Structure node like a town or village on the map, it is necessary to add a geographic coordinate for the node.
As with all objects in {{IMSMANG}}, the Country Structure supports the incorporation of Custom Defined Fields ([[Custom Defined Fields | CDFs]]). These fields can be used to collect and track If information such as population, numbers of families and infrastructure information that is helpful in planning Mine Action activities, this information may be collected and tracked either as CDFs to either Country Structure or Location.
{{Note|
* If the map extent is set {{IMSMANG}} automatically zoom and centre the map when the user clicks in the Country Structure pane in the [[IMSMA Navigation Window | Main Navigation window]].
* For ease of reporting, it is recommended to associate the majority of the [[Location Summary Window | Locations]] with one of the levels in the Country Structure, normally the lowest level such as town or village.
* Alternative names may be in different languages and alphabets. It is also common to add PCode P-code as an alternative name.
* It is important to keep the Country Structure inside {{IMSMANG}} in synch with the official Country Structure. }}
