{{IMSMANG }} provides extensive data export/import and export capabilities and formats designed to support a variety of purposes and needs. Using IMSMANG’s {{IMSMANG}}’s import and export functions, information managers Information Managers can exchange data directly with other {{IMSMANG systems, }} installations and export data for use in external tools and share data with other XML-compliant system.

==Data Entry Forms==The primary mechanism IMSMANG uses for sharing information is the data entry form. As discussed in Chapter 1, data entry forms contain the vast majority of IMSMANG data may be exported and are the sole repository for entering operational information into the system. So, exporting and importing data entry forms let information managers easily share information between IMSMANG systems and other IMSMANG tools such as IMSMANG Remote Entry. Information managers can share large or small amounts of data directly with other IMSMANG users whether they are working together in the same programme or imported in separate countries'''xml''' format.

When [[Import a Data entry forms information may Entry Form from a xml File | importing 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 exported [[Approve Data Entry Forms from the Workbench | approved]] from the [[Access and imported 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 maXML formatthe 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.

When importing XML data entry forms into IMSMANG==Translations==__NOEDITSECTION__In addition to Data Entry Forms, there are occasionally problems with the data that cause the data to not translations of enumeration values can be fully exported and importedinto {{IMSMANG}}. These “import issues” are tracked on each data entry form and must be resolved before the data entry form Using this functionality, Information Managers can be approved. Typically, import issues are the result of references to auxiliary data such as places, organisations, ordnance export translations that already exists for a language or country structure elements that do not exist in the importing system. These issues can create a completely new translation file so it may be resolved easily by creating the necessary auxiliary data and reedited with Rosetta-importing the data entry forms. This functionality is designed to permit imports to continue even if some J instead of translating one by one in the linked data is missingData Inventory Manager.

==TranslationsAuxiliary Data==__NOEDITSECTION__In addition to data entry forms, {{IMSMANG}} supports the translated terms export of Auxiliary data elements can be exported and imported into IMSMANG. Using this functionalityin two different formats:* xml, information managers can take any translations that have been created for IMSMANG data elements and export them to .properties files that can be edited in external tools (such as Rosetta-J) and either exchanged with other IMSMANG systems or reimported into the same IMSMANG system[[Portal:Remote Entry |IMSMA Remote Entry]]* csv, for use in e.g. in Excel.

==Auxiliary Data and Map Exports==IMSMA<sup>NG<{{Warning | Note that neither xml or csv/sup> supports the export of base tables (auxillary data) and map data, but this information xls '''cannot ''' be imported back into an {{IMSMANG }} system. Instead these exports provide external tools such as IMSMANG Remote Entry with without the information to support data entry form data entry. Base tables tend to include auxillary data such as ordnance or country structure information. Moreover, they should always be exported in help of a maXML format[[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]]. }}

==Non-Exportable DataMap Exports==__NOEDITSECTION__Certain data within IMSMANG, particularly the administrative data, The map is not exportable possible to export in any external format. These include saved searches, impact scoring schemes and users and roles. Also included in non-exportable data are tasks, work items, and summary templates. This data can, however, be shared via backup filestwo formats; pdf or apm (ESRI Arc Pad Map).

==Non-Exportable Data==__NOEDITSECTION__Certain data within {{IMSMANG}} , particularly the administrative data, is not exportable to any external format. These include:* [[Saved Searches Window | Saved searches]], * [[Using the Impact Scoring Tool in IMSMANG | Impact scoring schemes]]* [[Defining Roles, Permissions and Users | Permissions]]* [[Using the Tasking Tool in IMSMANG | Tasks and Work items]] and * [[Designing Summary Templates | Summary templates]]. 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 Working with IMSMANG Administration}} [[Category:NAA]]
