IMSMANG was designed to reflect the reality surrounding it. It provides customisation tools that enable a mine action programme to adjust the information management system to meet every aspect of the information management cycle in the programme.
All customisation functions can be performed from the menu bar on the IMSMA Navigation Window.
Data Entry Form Template Designer
Data Entry Form Template Design is a graphic tool that allows for the creation of survey forms or any other form needed to record data on mine action objects and activities. The IMSMANG forms can be created to look like the actual survey forms used in the field for data collection.
