Auxiliary data provide supplementary or additional information to [[Items Pane|'''items''']] and include Country structure, Assistance classification, Cause classification, Needs classification, Ordnance classification, Organisations and Places. Note that [[Using_the_Tasking_Tool_in_IMSMANG|Tasks]] are not included in neither items or auxiliary data.
 
==Country Structure==__NOEDITSECTION__
The Country structure represents a gazetteer, the political or administrative divisions within a country. In {{IMSMANG}}, the Country 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. So the Country structure should be set up before beginning data entry.
 
Ideally, a Mine Action Programme uses an official, countrywide country structure that ensures mine action information is compatible with other national datasets.
 
Ideally, the country structure in {{IMSMANG}}, covers all levels of the existing Country structure, 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 such as Areas of Responsibility that do not exists in the Country structure, artificial areas may be inserted into the Country structure in {{IMSMANG}}.
 
To display a Country 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 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 pane in the main navigation window.
* For ease of reporting, it is recommended to associate the majority of the Locations with one of the levels in the Country structure, 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.}}
==Assistance, Cause and Needs classifications==__NOEDITSECTION__

They are as Country 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.  {{IMSMANG}} contains a set of pre-defined levels of classifications. These should be seen as a starting point for discussions in each Mine Action and/or Assistance Programme.
{| class="wikitable"
These classifications may have maximum of ten levels.

===Ordnance Classification===__NOEDITSECTION__This classification is used in Land, Activities and Accidents. {{IMSMANG}} includes from the installation more than 5,000 predefined ordnance models. All ordnance is grouped according to categories and subcategories. For example, an explosive ordnance may have a category of “Landmine” and a subcategory of “Antipersonnel.” In this way, {{IMSMANG}} provides the ability not only to search and report on models but summarise information on categories and subcategories. This allows queries such as “how many landmines or bombs were cleared in a specific period?” or “how many anti-personnel mines were found?”.
{{Note | Other categories than ''Landmines'' have ordnance that belong to the subcategory ''Anti-Personnel'' so if you only want to report on AP-mines you need to filter on both category '''and''' subcategory. }}
The new field ''Statistic Group'' has been added in order to facilitate flexible reporting }}
===Organisations===__NOEDITSECTION__
{{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 structure. To display Organisations on the map, they must have geospatial data (minimum one set of coordinates).
{{IMSMANG}} also supports the tracking of competencies and accreditations for each organisation.
===Places===__NOEDITSECTION__
{{IMSMANG}} offers the option to track information about specific places or infrastructure elements within a country that are relevant to Mine Action. These can be ammunition storages, armouries, airports, community centres, hospitals, refugee camps or any other structures/buildings which designate a political, economic, social, and/or logistical value.
