{{IMSMANG}} provides extensive data export/import capabilities and formats designed to support a variety of purposes and needs. Using {{IMSMANG}}’s import and export functions, Information Managers can exchange data directly with other {{IMSMANG}} installations, and export data for use in external tools and share data with other maXML-compliant systems.
==Data Entry Forms==__NOEDITSECTION__
The primary mechanism {{IMSMANG}} uses for sharing information is the Data Entry Forms. Data Entry Forms contain the vast majority of {{IMSMANG}} data and are the sole repository for entering operational information into the database. So, exporting and importing Data Entry Forms let Information Managers easily share information between {{IMSMANG}} installations and other {{IMSMANG}} tools such as [[Portal:Remote Entry | IMSMA Remote Entry]].
Data Entry Forms may be exported and imported in '''maXMLxml''' format.
When [[Import a Data Entry Form from a xml File | importing XML Data Entry Forms ]] in xml format into {{IMSMANG}} , there are occasionally problems with the data that cause the data to not be fully imported. These ''import issues'' are tracked on each Data Entry Form and must be resolved before the Data Entry Form can be [[Approve Data Entry Forms from the Workbench | approved]] from the [[Access and Use the Workbench Window | Workbench]]. Typically, import issues are the result of references to Data Entry Form Template, Locations or Auxiliary data such as Places, Organisations, Ordnance or Country Structure elements that do not exist in the importing database. These issues can be resolved easily by creating the necessary auxiliary data and complete the Data Entry Forms. This functionality is designed to permit imports to continue even if some of the linked data is missing.
==Translations==__NOEDITSECTION__
* csv, for use in e.g. in Excel.
{{Warning | Note that neither xml or csv/xls '''cannot''' be imported back into an {{IMSMANG}} system without the help of a [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]]. }}
==Map Exports==__NOEDITSECTION__
==Non-Exportable Data==__NOEDITSECTION__
Certain data within {{IMSMANG}} , particularly the administrative data, is not exportable to any external format. These include:
* [[Access the Saved Searches Window | Saved searches]],
* [[Using the Impact Scoring Tool in IMSMANG | Impact scoring schemes]]
* [[Defining Roles, Permissions and Users | Permissions]]
Contact your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]] if you need to export any of these.
==Import of data from other sources==__NOEDITSECTION__It is possible to import data from other sources or the Auxiliary data as mentioned above by using importing scripts. Contact your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]] if you have questions about import scripts. {{NavBox Getting started with IMSMANG Administration}}
