The IMSMA Navigation Window immediately displays at the launch of the system.

The IMSMA Navigation Window has three panes: the Country Structure Pane, the Map Pane and the Items Pane. The three panes work together. Users can browse through elements of any pane to view additional data appropriate to the kind of data the other panes hold.

The Items pane displays most recently approved information. Each item has its own Summary Window that can be opened to browse for linked information and details. Throughout IMSMANG, functions and features display in smaller windows over the IMSMA Navigation window.

Interacting with Panes

  • Selecting the country structure area of your choice
