This section provides instructions for customising IMSMANG’s core features to match the needs of an individual programme. It includes instructions for viewing, adding, editing, deleting and translating predefined data and custom data. System administrators perform these tasks during the initial set up of IMSMANG and during routine management of the system. *[[Getting IMSMA | Acquiring a copy of IMSMA]]*[[Installing IMSMA]]*[[Customizing IMSMA]] <!--*[[Quick Start Guide]] *[[Using IMSMA]]*[[Maintaining IMSMA NG]]*'''[[Using this wiki]]'''*'''[[Initial Wiki Info]]'''*[[Help:Start Page]]*[[Concept:Start Page]]*[[System Configuration]] For ZIM file -->{| id="mp-lower" id=Working with IMSMA"mf-nec" style==''This section will include pages that are pre"margin:4px 0 0 0; width:100%; background:none; border-arranged with appropriate content based on a user's '''ROLE''' so that users can find information that is pertinent to their role in information management.''*[[Using IMSMA]]*[[Maintaining IMSMA]] <!--*Data Entry User*System Administrator*Information Manager*Operations User-->spacing: 0px;"| class="MainPageBG" style=IMSMA Remote Entry (IRE)== * [[HowTo"width:100%; border:Install and Uninstall (IMSMA Remote Entry)|Installing IRE]]* [[HowTo1px solid #fff; background:Complete and Manage Field Reports (IMSMA Remote Entry)|Using IRE]]* [[HowTo#faf5ff; vertical-align:Configure the System (IMSMA Remote Entry)|Administrating IRE]]* [[HowTotop; color:Configure List Options and Translate the System (IMSMA Remote Entry)#000;" |Maintaining IRE]]* [[IMSMA Remote Entry{|IRE User Guide]] id="mp-bottom" id=IMSMA Guides"mf-nec" style==''This section will include pages that are pre"width:100%; vertical-arranged with appropriate content to mimic existing user guides so that users can find information as they used to.''align:top; background:#faf5ff; color:#000;"|}* IMSMA Installation Guide* IMSMA Administrative Guide* IMSMA User Manual* IMSMA i-Report User Guide ==Exercise book==|}
