Data Entry Forms

Data Entry Forms - Adding and Entering Data

To view and add Data entry forms, you must have access to the Data Entry Form permission.

Data entry forms are used to collect mine action data such as accidents and victims, land, activities, locations, education activities, and quality management information. The below figure illustrates the typical progression of a data entry form in IMSMA.

Data Entry Form Process

Data Entry Form Templates window

The Data Entry Form Templates window is the first window to display when you add a data entry form. The window allows you to select the type of data entry form that you would like to add.

Data Entry Form Templates Window

The Data Entry Form Templates window contains two sections:

A filter section for limiting the list of data displayed – You can filter the data displayed in the table by selecting a filter from the list and entering a filter value. Data entry form templates passing the filter are listed in the table.
A table for the data – By default, the table displays all data entry form templates in IMSMA. The data displayed in the table is sorted in descending order by published date. To change the sort order of the data, click the column header associated with the attribute on which you would like to sort the data.
