==Data Entry Forms and SummariesSummary items==__NOEDITSECTION__
A <b>Data Entry Form</b> is a template used for data entry and storage of information e.g. about a victim.
As subsequent information is collected about a specific attribute of an item, {{IMSMANG}} updates the item’s Summary on an attribute-by-attribute basis. For example, Data Entry Form #1 collects some initial information about a Land. It sets the priority to "Medium" and specifies that the land contains AP mines and is 25,000 sqm. Data Entry Form #2 updates information about the land area after a subsequent assessment. The report sets the priority to "High" and specifies the presence of AP and AT mines, but it does not change the size or the status of the land area. Data Entry Form #3 updates the land area's size and status after clearance operations are complete. The figure below shows how the land area's Summary is updated after all three reports are entered into the system.

For data quality purposes, it is important that the data is adequately checked. With multiple permission levels for the Approval, different users can be assigned different permissions, allowing Mine Action Programmes to implement a data-entry workflow that distinguishes between data '''entry''' and data '''verification''' roles.
Until a Data Entry Form is approved, it exists only in the Workbench and does not update any SummariesSummary items. The report can still be modified or deleted. When The Approval will trigger an update of an existing item (Summary) or creating of a Data Entry Form is approvednew item depending of chosen Action. If the Summary item has geospatial data, it becomes part of the Summaries and will may be visible on in the mapMap Pane.
