==Document Workflows and Business Rules==
After the desired data elements and field report Data Entry Form templates are customised and published, the next step is to define and document the information workflow for each type of field reportData Entry Form. This is a critical step for ensuring the quality of the data stored in IMSMA<sup>NG</sup>. It involves combining the workflow rules identified in Chapter 1 with the field report Data Entry Form templates defined in Chapter 2 to create a set of workflows that can be documented as instructions or SOPs for entering and reconciling data in IMSMA<sup>NG</sup>. Each workflow and SOP should include rules for:
*assigning locations
===Data Entry Process and Guidelines===
When the relevant items, processes and workflows are identified and documented, information managers should provide guidelines to assist data entry personnel in correctly entering, reconciling and linking data according to the processes. The guidelines should include an entry for each of the field report Data Entry Form templates to be used and a description for how each should be entered. At a minimum, these guidelines should include:
*name and description for each field report Data Entry Form template
*list of required fields and what the values should be
*definition of how the items in the field report Data Entry Form should be reconciled (as new or as updates)
*description of how to determine the location for each item in the form if it is new
*definition of which existing items should be linked to the items in the field reportData Entry Form
