{{IMSMANG}} provides extensive data export/import and export capabilities and formats designed to support a variety of purposes and needs. Using {{IMSMANG}}’s import and export functions, information managers Information Managers can exchange data directly with other {{IMSMANG}} systemsinstallations, export data for use in external tools and share data with other XMLmaXML-compliant systems.
==Data Entry Forms==__NOEDITSECTION__
The primary mechanism {{IMSMANG}} uses for sharing information is the data entry formData Entry Forms. Data entry forms Entry Forms contain the vast majority of {{IMSMANG}} data and are the sole repository for entering operational information into the systemdatabase. So, exporting and importing data entry forms Data Entry Forms let information managers Information Managers easily share information between {{IMSMANG}} systems installations and other {{IMSMANG}} tools such as [[Portal:Remote Entry | IMSMA Remote Entry. Information managers can share large or small amounts of data directly with other {{IMSMANG}} users whether they are working together in the same programme or in separate countries]].
Data entry forms information Entry Forms may be exported and imported in '''maXML ''' format.
When importing XML data entry forms Data Entry Forms into {{IMSMANG}} , there are occasionally problems with the data that cause the data to not be fully imported. These “import issues” ''import issues'' are tracked on each data entry form Data Entry Form and must be resolved before the data entry form Data Entry Form can be [[Approve Data Entry Forms from the Workbench | approved]] from the [[Access and Use the Workbench Window | Workbench]]. Typically, import issues are the result of references to auxiliary Data Entry Form Template, Locations or Auxiliary data such as placesPlaces, organisationsOrganisations, ordnance Ordnance or country structure Country Structure elements that do not exist in the importing systemdatabase. These issues can be resolved easily by creating the necessary auxiliary data and re-importing complete the data entry formsData Entry Forms. This functionality is designed to permit imports to continue even if some of the linked data is missing.
==Translations==__NOEDITSECTION__
In addition to Data Entry Forms, the translations of enumeration values can be exported and imported into {{IMSMANG}}. Using this functionality, information managers Information Managers can export translations that already exists for a language or create a completely new translation file so it may be edited with Rosetta-J instead of translating one by one in the Data Inventory Manager.
