{{TOC right}}Auxiliary data provide supplementary or additional information to [[Items Pane|'''items''']] and include Country structureStructure, 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.

==Assistance, Cause and Needs classifications==__NOEDITSECTION__

[[Image:Tree structure.png|200px|right]]

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 structurestructures. 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.

These classifications may have maximum of ten levels. These classification can be extensive and therefore the [[Advanced Search]] functionality is useful for finding what you are looking for. The '''inspiration''' classifications that serve a starting point for discussions in each Mine Action and/or Assistance Programme can be downloaded in Excel files from '''[[Downloads | here]]'''.

==Country Structure==__NOEDITSECTION__The Country Structure represents a gazetteer, the political or administrative divisions within a country. In {{Note | Contact your GICHD IM focal point if you need help with adjusting levels or classifications 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. Ideally, a Mine Action Programme uses an official, countrywide Country Structure that ensures mine action information is compatible with other national datasets.

==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. }}

Furthermore, programmes Mine Action Programmes can limit which ordnance can be used for data entry by making ordnance inactive. To making only the ordnance that may be found in the country facilitates both data entry and data quality.

{{New_6.0 | # '''[[IEDClassification | IED]]''', Less-lethal weapons, Light weapons, MANPADS, Small Arm Ammunitions and Small Arms have been added as Categoryare new Categories. # The new models belonging to the above categories are Inactive. # 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)Country Structure.

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.

* Education activities to represent the location of the activity

As with other {{IMSMANG}} data, Places can may be customised using CDFs and represented on the map by adding geospatial information. Place may be represented on the map as both points and polygons e.g. for a refugee camp the polygon indicates larger area around the camp where people are moving for collection food and water.

{{New_6.0 | Ammunition storage and Armoury have been added to ''Place Type''}}
