Figure 15. Example Country Structures

Both the number of levels and the name of each level can be customised to match the programme’s existing country structure. Ideally, the country structure in IMSMANG covers all levels of the existing country structure, from the country level down to a level that can be represented with a single point such as a town, city or village.

If a programme has special areas or districts that are not consistent with the defined country structure levels, the programme can insert artificial or unofficial areas to keep the country structure consistent across the entire country.

==Define the Country Structure Areas==

As with all data elements in IMSMANG, the country structure supports the incorporation of CDFs to augment predefined data fields. These fields can be used to collect and track information such as population, numbers of families and other socioeconomic and infrastructure information that is helpful in planning mine action activities.

{{note|* For ease of access, it is recommended to associate IMSMANG locations with one level in the country structure, normally the lowest level such as town or village.

* Setting the preferred map extent for each area allows users to zoom and centre the map automatically on the area from the main navigation window.

* Adding alternative names for areas lets users incorporate official and unofficial names for areas as well as internationally recognized PCodes}}
