{{Reference guide header|IMSMA themes include items and other data (hospitals, schools, organisations, etc.). Themes that have been recorded ''with geographic coordinates'' (reference points, polygons, lines, etc.) can be ''displayed'' on the map. Displayed items are ''represented'' on the map by ''standard mine action cartographic symbols''. Other data displayed on the map is represented by ''commonly used symbols'' for hospitals, schools, organisations, etc..
 
 
''Layouts'' help print a map with ''predefined elements'', such as a ''legend'', a ''north indicator'' and a ''scale'' and/or ''drawing elements'' that are helpful for an appropriate understanding of the information displayed on the map. Saved layouts can be ''opened again''. New map layouts can be ''created'' through the ''map layout edit mode tools''.
 
 
The ''map menu'' and the ''map toolbar'' offer basic functions that enable you to retrieve additional information from what is displayed on the map.

The Map Pane itself has many functions with are described here and how to print out only the content of the Map pane is described here. This part of the wiki covers how to create Map layout/templates which are mainly for printing the map.

Map layout/template makes it possible to print a map with predefined elements, such as a legend, a north indicator and a scale and/or drawing elements that are helpful for an appropriate understanding of the information displayed on the map. Saved layouts may be re-used and shared between users.
