View source for Add Country Structure

{{Note | To add to the Country structure, your {{IMSMANG}} user account must belong to a User Role that has permission ''Country structure'' with ''Read and Write'' level. Contact your {{IMSMANG}} Administrator if you have questions on permissions. }}

{{note| The Country structure Levels must be created before you can add Country structure nodes to {{IMSMANG}}. For information on adding Levels, see [[Hierarchy Manager#Add levels | Add levels]].
If you have not yet defined the top-level Country structure, the following message displays
:No Country Structure levels are defined. Please create them with the [[Hierarchy Manager]] in the Customisation menu. }}

To add a country structure:
<ol>
<li> In the '''Data Entry menu''' &rarr; '''Country Structure'''.<br />

[[Image:CS_Manager.png|center|400px]]<br />

<li> Select the node of the parent to the Country structure that you would like to add.</li>
<li> Click the [[Image:FieldTemplateIcon.png | 22px | Add ]] button.<br />[[Image:CS_Editor.png|center|600px]]<br />

<li> Enter the name in the primary language of the Mine Action Programme in the Name field.</li>
{{Note | The label associated with the field will depend on the level of the Country structure that you are adding e.g. Province or Commune}}
{{New_6.0 | The field ''Country structure ID'' has been added to the Editor window}}
<li> Enter the official Country structure ID e.g. the Pcode. </li>
{{Note | Setting the Country structure ID will facilitate future updates of the Country structure e.g. when Municipalities are merged or moved to another District}}

<li> Alternative names may be used and common reasons are:
* more than one language in the country
* the Mine Action Programme would like to use English and one or more local languages
* an alternative way of referring to the nodes exists

The alternative names will also be displayed in the IMSMA Navigation window’s country structure pane.<br /> 
The order is Country Structure name / Alternative name 1 / Alternative name 2. <br />
There is no limitation of number of alternative names.<br />

To Add the alternate names:
<ol>
<li>Click the [[Image:FieldTemplateIcon.png | 22px | Create an alternative name]] button in the Alternative Names section of the Country Structure Editor window.</li>
<li>Enter the alternative name in the '''Alternative Name''' field. </li>
<li>Click the '''OK''' button.</li> 
The Add Alternative Name window closes.
