==Country Structure==__NOEDITSECTION__
The Country structure Structure represents a gazetteer, the political or administrative divisions within a country. In {{IMSMANG}}, the Country structure Structure allows a Mine Action Programme to link Mine Action information to areas and report statistics such as number of victims per province or district. The Country structure Structure should be set up before beginning data entry.
Ideally, a Mine Action Programme uses an official, countrywide country structure Country Structure that ensures mine action information is compatible with other national datasets. Implementing an existing gazetteer requires Setting up Country Structure in {{IMSMANG}} is done in two steps:
# defining the levels of the Country structureStructure# defining the nodes of the Country structureStructure
===Define the Country Structure Levels===__NOEDITSECTION__
|[[Hierarchy Manager#Delete levels | Delete levels]]
}}
Defining the levels of the Country structure Structure includes defining the number of levels and the names of the levels. For Country structure Structure the maximum number of levels are seven.

Ideally, the country structure Country Structure in {{IMSMANG}}, covers all levels of the existing Country structureStructure, from the country level down to a level that can be represented with a single point such as a town or village. If a Mine Action programme has special areas levels such as Areas of Responsibility that do not exists in the Country structureStructure, artificial areas levels may be inserted into the Country structure Structure in {{IMSMANG}}.

To display a Country structure Structure node like a town or village on the map, it is necessary to add a geographic coordinate for the node.
As with all objects in {{IMSMANG}}, the Country structure Structure supports the incorporation of Custom Defined Fields (CDFs). These fields can be used to collect and track information such as population, numbers of families and infrastructure information that is helpful in planning Mine Action activities.
{{Note|
* If the map extent is set {{IMSMANG}} automatically zoom and centre the map when the user clicks in the Country structure Structure pane in the main navigation [[IMSMA Navigation Window | Main Navigation window]].* For ease of reporting, it is recommended to associate the majority of the [[Location Summary Window | Locations ]] with one of the levels in the Country structureStructure, normally the lowest level such as town or village.
* Alternative names may be in different languages and alphabets. It is also common to add PCode as an alternative name.
* It is important to keep the Country Structure inside {{IMSMANG}} in synch with the official Country Structure. }}
* ''Assistance'' that the victim has received
They are as the Country structure 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:
|[[Delete Auxiliary Data | Delete Organisations]]
}}
{{IMSMANG}} provides the ability to track information about Organisations participating in Mine Action. Organisations can be categorised by type and assigned “work areas” based on the country structureCountry Structure. To display Organisations on the map, they must have geospatial data (minimum one set of coordinates).
Additionally, {{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.
