[[File:Overview_IMSMA_to_MINT.png|left|400px]] What steps are concretely required in order to get information out of raw data? <br/>
From within the {{IMSMANG}} application it is possible to [[Export Search Result | export search results ]] to Excel or using [[Use iReport | iReport]] templates with charts.
When the built in reporting functions in {{IMSMANG}} are not covering your needs then we recommend using the '''[[IMSMA_Staging_Area|Staging Area]]'''. The Staging Area is a "flat" stand-alone version of the IMSMA database especially suitable for reporting/statistics/GIS. The Staging Area database is generated by using the '''[[Staging_Area_Generator|Staging Area Generator (SAG)]]''' application.
The Staging Area data is directly and easily accessible for '''[[MINT]]''' or any [[External_Reporting_Tools|other different types of reporting and analysis tool]], such as [https://www.tableau.com/ Tableau] and Excel.
If not all data that you would like to use is not from IMSMA e.g. in another database or in spreadsheets, MINT (and other the tools) can also connect to it - contact your '''[[Information Management Team|GICHD IM focal point]]'''.
