| |
| − | IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> is an information management system designed to support the complex information management needs of the mine action community. Core elements of IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> include a MySQL database for storing and tracking mine action information and the various relationships among the data, a geographic information system (GIS) for analyzing and displaying geospatial information on maps and a reporting tool for generating reports of the data stored in the system. Its client-server architecture enables stand-alone installations to support small programmes with one or two users as well as networked installations for [[Image:IMSMANG Video.jpg|thumb|left|350px|link=http://www.gichd.org/fileadmin/user_upload/video/IMSMA_demo_video/Demo_final.swf|alt=Watch the demo video|'''''Click on the image to watch the {{IMSMANG}} demo video''''']] large programmes with 50 or more users distributed across multiple sites and organisations. Additionally, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> can be paired with several supporting components that directly interact with the IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> system.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Designed with flexibility to support a range of uses, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> can also be customised by individual programmes to suit their changing information management needs. This includes defining the type of mine action data to store in IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> and the relationships among the types, the forms used to enter the data into the system and the workflows that match the current or desired information model. So, significant attention must be paid when setting up and customising IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> to support a programme’s information management needs and to get the most out of the system.''

| |
| − | When an information manager has a thorough understanding of the information requirements for the programme, the next step are to install the software and begin customising IMSMANG to accommodate these needs. This section provides instructions for customising IMSMANG’s core features to match the needs of an individual programme. It includes instructions for viewing, adding, editing, deleting and translating predefined data and custom data. System administrators perform these tasks during the initial set up of IMSMANG and during routine management of the system.
