The Data Inventory Manager shows the data field by item and [[Data Categories | sub-categories]] so information managers can quickly navigate and find the data fields. It is also possible to [[Add a Data Category | add more categories]] and [[Add a Data Category | move fields between categories]].

Creating pick lists is one of the most powerful functionalities available in the {{IMSMANG}} Data Inventory Manager. Using this functionality, information managers can create rich data attributes fields for each {{IMSMANG}} item that are searchable, translatable and customisable. Pick lists preserve data integrity by preventing problems associated with typographical errors, misspellings and other data entry errors, enabling users to compile and compare data easily. When created, the values for the pick lists can be modified to reflect changing needs over time.
Pick list data can be used in tools such as the Impact Scoring tool as well as in sorting and filtering. Data in single-select pick lists can be used to change the display of data on the map based on their values. For example, information managers can show different symbols on the map for different item attributes fields such as status, priority and type.
Creating a new pick list in {{IMSMANG}} requires information managers to first determine whether the pick list should allow the selection of single values (using radio buttons) or multiple values (using checkboxes). When this determination is made, the values for the pick list can be added and the pick list created. Information managers can also provide translations for the values, which automatically display for users running {{IMSMANG}} in other languages.
