==Artifacts ==__NOEDITSECTION__
The Artifact pages reflect the structure and sequence of elements as '''defined and exported''' by {{IMSMANG}}. The form of maXML exported and imported by {{IMSMANG}} '''differs ''' slightly from the maXML defined by the generic maXML schema and therefore some exports will not validate to the original schema. Anyone who would like to exchange information with {{IMSMANG}} should follow {{IMSMANG}} maXML dictionary to construct or read a maXML file correctly formatted for {{IMSMANG}}.
{{IMSMANG}} imports its main objects in the form of field reports. The different types of field reports are all collected under the parents MineActionFieldReport, FieldReport in maXML. In order to correctly form a field report for import by {{IMSMANG}} one would need to construct a maXML document containing the elements DocumenHeader (not required see below), FieldReportInfo and the desired type of field report, there is also the option to include the element attachment if relevant. The different types of field report are Accident, Hazard, HazardReduction, Location, MREActivity, QAActivity, Victim, and VictimAssistance. Multiple field reports of various types can be included in one file and imported by {{IMSMANG}} each separate field report should then be contained within its own FieldReport tags.
For radiobuttons and checkboxes {{IMSMANG}} uses enumeration values retrieved from an enumeration table to restrict the choices available. IMSMA Enum Category refers to the category of enumeration values for the {{IMSMANG}} field in question. The enumeration value is often translated to a different value when displayed in the application {{IMSMANG}}, either in a different language or in the same language but with another value (e.g. the Land status enumeration list/category contains ''Active'' (a.k.a. Base Term) but the value displayed in {{IMSMANG}} is ''Open''.
An enumeration list may be obtained by contacting your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]]. Choices in {{IMSMANG}} can be customised to fit the needs of specific mine Mine Action programmes. Customised values are added to the IMSMA enumeration list when created. It is therefore recommended to request specific lists of enumeration values from each country.
In addition to the field reports there are eight elements for Auxiliary data. {{IMSMANG}} does not currently import Auxiliary data but it does export it. It will be of interest to read Auxiliary data from {{IMSMANG}} for any system that intends to exchange information with {{IMSMANG}} as there are often many references to Auxiliary data in a field report. Information about organisations, places, country structure and more are referred to in a field report through GUIDs which can only be obtained from an {{IMSMANG}}installation.
