If the information manager decides to create more than one template for an item it is important to prevent users to make mistakes / wrong combination at data entry / data collection.
Information managers could also consider creating a minimal information ''administration'' template designed to update the type and/or status of each item when administrative changes to items may be required. For example, in a land release workflow, when a progress report (Activity) is submitted the linked Land should change status from ''Open'' to ''Worked On''. In most Mine Action Programmes the operator will not submit an updating Land nor will the Operations section of the NMAA issues a PM on that the status of the Land should be changed. It is considered as an IM administrative action to change the status of the land and therefore the information manager may find it useful to design an ''administrative'' Data Entry Form template with only a few fields for status updates (like the ''big five'minimum''' recommended), an information manager can hence ensure that all steps of a Land Release workflow are reflected properly and with minimal effort in the {{IMSMANG}} database.
===Include the ''big five'Minimum' '' Recommended Data Elements on All all Templates===__NOEDITSECTION__
As discussed above, some data elements should always appear on Data Entry Form templates to preserve data integrity, searchability and reportability. These are considered to be the absolute minimum that should be included on all Data Entry Form templates.By increasing minimum required data elements, information managers ensure high data quality and that the data the Mine Action Programme consider to be valuable are collected and stored in {{IMSMANG}}.
