* creating new data fields which are referred to as Custom Defined Fields (CDFs).

The objective of this step is to ensure that all data fields and values necessary for Mine action programme operations operation are available in {{IMSMANG}}. This step should be completed prior to designing forms for data entry Data Entry Form templates so that these changes are reflected on the Data Entry Forms.

{{note|{{IMSMANG}} does '''not''' automatically change Data Entry Forms Form templates when changes are made in the Data Inventory Manager.}}

{{IMSMANG}} comes with more than 1,000 system fields from installation and therefore it is important to search in the Data Inventory Manager before adding CDFs in order to determine if a data field already exists '''before''' adding it as a CDF.

==Modify Existing Fields==__NOEDITSECTION__

In addition to creating new data fields using Using the Data Inventory Manager, information managers can customise the values of existing enumeration lists to reflect local programme needs. Information managers can add new values to the enumeration lists and deactivate existing values. Deactivating existing values does not remove the values from the database nor does it change existing data or forms. Rather, it removes the values from the Source Tree in the Form Designer so that the values can no longer be added to new forms.

{{note|Deactivating or changing a value in the Data Inventory Manager does not change the forms that use the original value. Additional steps should be taken to prevent the original value from being used for data entry. These include updating and republishing all data entry forms that use the deactivated or changed value.}}
