==Reporting Tools provided for IMSMA==__NOEDITSECTION__
 
===MINT===__NOEDITSECTION__
The Mine Action Intelligence Tool (MINT) is available as of {{IMSMANG}} version 6.0. It is a web-based tool for reporting, data analysis and indicator tracking. As such, it allows users to create and view digital dashboards, perform ad-hoc data analysis online in a very intuitive way, create reports and charts online, and upload reports created in a report designer tool. MINT is available on a web server managed by GICHD. Each organisation/programme/country can however manage its own space, create roles and users, manage data sources and data domains, etc. MINT is the most advanced and complete reporting solution provided for IMSMA. It is recommended to connect MINT to the [[IMSMA Staging Area]]. A more detailed description, instructions, how-to pages etc. are available on the [[MINT|MINT pages of this WIKI]].

==External Reporting Tools==__NOEDITSECTION__
{{IMSMANG}} also allows information managers to connect advanced reporting tools such as Crystal Reports or ArcGIS Desktop directly to its relational database for highly advanced report generation. With this capability, information managers can use custom reporting solutions to connect with {{IMSMANG}}, allowing for complete control of {{IMSMANG}} outputs. Or, managers can modify existing reporting solutions to connect to {{IMSMANG}}, which leverages technology already implemented in the programme and limits the need for retraining.
