* '''Conversion Language:'''specifies the language in which the staging area database should be created. This refers to the translation concept in {{IMSMANG}}. For example, the English values for the status of a Land include ''Open'', ''Worked on'' and ''Closed''. However, in IMSMA translations of these terms into other languages can be defined. Considering this example, the option chosen in the Conversion Language field specifies which value will be written into the status_enum field of the HAZARD table in the staging area. If a translation does not exist in the specified language, it will default to English or, if this is not available, to the IMSMA base term. When translations are heavily used, it would be possible for instance to create one staging area in language 1 and another one in language 2, with the same data but values in different languages.* '''Gazetteer Seq No:'''this option allows to specify the flattening of the country structure into the main object tables, if gazetteer alternative names are used in {{IMSMANG}}. Alternative names in the country structure, if defined, have a sequence number. For example, if for each country structure element two alternative names are defined, the first one has sequence number 0 , the second one sequence number 1. If the standard gazetteer names should be used in the staging area, choose '''None'''. Otherwise, choose the appropriate sequence number.
* '''Do Geodata:''' this is a switch to enable/disable the generation of geodata. The staging area can either be created with non-geodata only, or including all the coordinates (points, polylines and polygons), i.e. the data stored in the GEOPOINT, GEOSPATIALINFO and related tables in {{IMSMANG}}. Refer to the section on geodata below for more details.
* '''Target SRID:''' when generating geodata in the staging area, the data can be re-projected. The Target SRID allows to define the projection. The default, 4326, corresponds to '''WGS 84'''. For a complete list of available projections, issue the following query on an empty staging area (i.e. the one created after clicking on '''Validate Selections'''):
