Auxiliary data provide supplementary or additional information to [[Items Pane| '''items''']] and include * Country Structure, * Assistance classification, * Cause classification, Country structure, * Needs classification, * Ordnance classification, Organisations and Places* Organisation,* Place. {{Note that | [[Using_the_Tasking_Tool_in_IMSMANG|Tasks ]] are not included in neither items or auxiliary data.}}
It is important to standardise the Auxiliary data i.e. ensure that duplicates with different spellings are not created and that official classifications for the Mine Action Programme / country are used in {{IMSMANG}}. Therefore it is important to limit the number of users who have permission to change Auxiliary Data. As with all objects in {{IMSMANG}}, it is possible to add Custom Defined Fields ([[Custom Defined Fields | CDFs]]) to the Auxiliary Data.
==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. So the 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__
{{HowTo's
|[[Hierarchy managerManager#Add levels | Add levels]]|[[Hierarchy Manager#Edit levels | Edit levels]]|[[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. For example, in one country the Country structure has four levels, while another country has five levels in the Country structure, and the levels are not called the same in the countries.

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.
{{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 P-code as an alternative name.* It is important to keep the Country Structure inside {{IMSMANG}} in synch with the official Country Structure.}}

These classifications are used in [[Assistance Summary Window | Assistance]] and [[Victim Summary Window | Victim]] items.
* ''Cause'' for someone having become a victim
* ''Assistance'' that the victim has received
They are as the Country structure a Structure tree structure structures 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:

{{HowTo's
|[[Hierarchy managerManager#Add levels | Add levels]]|[[Hierarchy Manager#Edit levels | Edit levels]]|[[Hierarchy Manager#Delete levels | Delete levels]]

{{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.

==Define Other Auxiliary Data==__NOEDITSECTION__
In addition to establishing the Assistance classification, Cause Classification, Country Structure and Needs assessment classifications in {{IMSMANG}}, information managers can establish other Auxiliary data, including data for:
* Ordnance Classification
* Organisations
* Places
While this information is easily updated during operational use of {{IMSMANG}}, it is helpful to establish a baseline of information prior to proceeding with Data Entry Form template design and data entry. Many {{IMSMANG}} users already have a baseline set of information created for each of the Auxiliary data types, either through the standard, predefined data available within {{IMSMANG}} or by migrating auxiliary data from a previous IMSMA version. Auxiliary data can also be augmented by creating [[Custom Defined Fields | '''CDFs''' ]] to track additional information.

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. }}

{{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.

{{IMSMANG}} also supports the tracking of competencies and accreditations for each organisation.
It is possible to add Organisation as [[Data Inventory Manager | CDF to other items]].
{{Note | The Organisation ''IMSMA'' is normally used for indicating that the Data Entry Form template is general i.e. not a special made template for one organisation.}}
