Defining the levels of the Country structure includes defining the number of levels and the names of the levels. For Country structure the maximum number of levels are seven. For example, in one country the Country structure has four levels, while another country has five levels in the Country structure, and the levels are not called the same in all countries.

==Assistance, Cause and Needs assessment classifications==__NOEDITSECTION__
These classifications are used in [[Assistance Summary Window | Assistance]] and [[Victim Summary Windows | Victim]] items.
* ''Cause'' for someone having become a victim
* ''Needs'' that the victim is assessed to have
* ''Assistance'' that the victim has received
They are as Country structure a tree structure and should be set up before beginning data entry.
Ideally, a Mine Action Programme uses official, countrywide classifications that ensures mine action information is compatible with other national datasets. Implementing these classifications requires two steps:
# defining the levels of the classifications
# defining the nodes of the classifications

These classifications may have maximum of ten levels.

==Define Other Auxiliary Data==__NOEDITSECTION__
In addition to establishing the Assistance classification, Cause Classification, Country Structure and Needs assessment classifications in {{IMSMANG}}, information managers can establish other auxiliary Auxiliary data, including data for:* Ordnance Classification
* Organisations
* Places
While this information is easily updated during operational use of {{IMSMANG}}, it is helpful to establish a baseline of information prior to proceeding with Data Entry Form template design and data entry. Many {{IMSMANG}} users already have a baseline set of information created for each of the auxiliary Auxiliary data types, either through the standard, predefined data available within {{IMSMANG}} or by migrating auxiliary data from a previous IMSMA version. Auxiliary data can also be augmented by creating [[Custom Defined Fields|CDFs]] to track additional information. ===Ordnance Classification===__NOEDITSECTION__This classification is used in Land, Activities and Accidents. {{IMSMANG}} includes from the installation more than 5,000 predefined ordnance models. {{HowTo's|[[Access the Ordnance Classification List Window]]|[[Filter the Ordnance Classification List]]|[[Add Ordnance Classification]]|[[View and/or change Ordnance Classification]]|[[Remove Ordnance Classification]]}}All ordnance is grouped according to categories and subcategories. For example, an explosive ordnance may have a category of “Landmine” and a subcategory of “Antipersonnel.” In this way, {{IMSMANG}} provides the ability not only to search and report on models but summarise information on categories and subcategories. This allows queries such as “how many landmines or bombs were cleared in a specific period?” or “how many anti-personnel mines were found?”. {{Note | Other categories than ''Landmines'' have ordnance that belong to the subcategory ''Anti-Personnel'' so if you only want to report on AP-mines you need to filter on both category '''and''' subcategory. }}
{{HowTo'snote|[[Add an Assistance Classification Level]]|[[Change an Assistance Classification Level Name]]*Before beginning data entry, standardise the ordnance available for use to ensure data consistency of reports. |[[Remove *When adding an Assistance Classification Level]]ordnance to the database, determine if the ordnance already exists in {{IMSMANG}}.

Additionally, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> {{IMSMANG}} supports the creation of parent-child relationships with organisations so that information managers can create hierarchies of organisations. For example, a mine clearance organisation may be responsible for several clearance teams within a country. As shown in the figure below, this relationship can be mapped by creating one organisation for the mine clearance organisation (NGO1) and one organisation for each team (TeamA, TeamB and TeamC), then specifying the parent organisation of each team as NGO1.

This kind of hierarchical relationship allows for complex searching and reporting on information such as how many square meters were cleared by each team and the total square meters that were cleared by the entire organisation.
