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.
==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 [[ImagePortal:fig179.pngRemote Entry |center|500px|''Figure 179.

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.
