Note.jpg 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.jpg The Country structure Levels must be created before you can add Country structure nodes to IMSMANG. For information on adding Levels, see 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:

  1. In the Data Entry menu → Country Structure.

  6. 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.
    The order is Country Structure name / Alternative name 1 / Alternative name 2.
    There is no limitation of number of alternative names.
    To Add the alternate names:
    1. Click the Create an alternative name button in the Alternative Names section of the Country Structure Editor window.
