{{IMSMANG}} is designed to support a variety of users from information managers to operations users. Recognising that each user or group of users may require a different set of maps, {{IMSMANG}} allows users to visualise data on maps individually tailored for their needs. For example, users in a regional Mine Action Programme office may need only maps of their region to display data while education coordinators may need only vector map layers to visualise education activity data.

{{IMSMANG}}comes with several symbology options for displaying mine action data on the map. For example, Lands can be displayed on the map with different symbols for priority, status and type. These symbols are stored in the .MXD file and can be customised by information managers as desired. Additionally, {{IMSMANG}} allows information managers to create subthemes for each item. Using the Sub-Themes Manager, information managers can display the different attributes of any item that are collected using single-select option lists on Data Entry Form templates. For example, information managers can display the different symbols for the “Slope” values of Lands including “0-5%,” “5-10%,” “10-15%” and “15-20%.” The example is shown in the figure below.
==Projection and Coordinate Systems==__NOEDITSECTION__
{{ Note | To add, change, or delete coordinate systems, your {{IMSMANG}} user account must belong to a role that have the [[Defining Roles, Permissions and Users| Reference System Manager]] permission. Contact your {{IMSMANG}} administrator if you have questions on permissions.}}

All geospatial data in {{IMSMANG}} is stored in WGS1984 decimal degree formatlatitude/longitude, but {{IMSMANG}} can display data in virtually any coordinate system. {{IMSMANG}} comes with all the coordinate systems available to ESRI's products like WGS1984 and MGRS, yet information managers can add other custom coordinate systems. Using the Coordinate System manager, information managers can add coordinate system and projection (or .PRJ) files to {{IMSMANG}} and establish a set of relevant systems that can be used for coordinate data entry and visualisation.
In addition to customised coordinate systems and projections, {{IMSMANG}} supports the use of localised number formats for coordinate entry, for example 73.233 or 73,233. {{IMSMANG}} validates all numeric coordinate data based on the computer's locale/regional settings so users running in a locale that uses a comma as a decimal separator can enter 72,333 while users running in a locale where a period is the decimal separator can enter 72.233.

The coordinate systems displayed available for use in IMSMA are managed using the Coordinate System Manager window. The available coordinate systems from installation are from the standard ESRI's projections. IMSMA does not support Copy custom coordinate system projection files to appropriate folder in ''C:\IMSMAng\server\gis\coordinate systems at this time''.
From the Customisation menu, select Coordinate System Manager to display the window.

Coordinate systems and formats are used for four different functions in {{IMSMANG}}:
# limit which coordinate systems/formats are allowed for data entry in the Mine Action Programme;
# [[Change the Map Projection | re-project the map on the fly]]
# [[Change the Coordinate Reference System Display | show coordinates of cursor position]]
# [[Drop a Visual Pin on the Map | go to coordinates / drop pin in the map]]
