==Data Entry Forms and Summary items==__NOEDITSECTION__
A <b>'''Data Entry Form</b> ''' is a template used for data entry and storage of information e.g. about a victim.
The Data Entry Forms Form(s) for a specific object (e.g. the Victim, Accident, Land''Jane Doe'') are summarised and displayed in a <b>'''Summary</b>'''.
Or with other words, all information is entered into {{IMSMANG}} via a Data Entry Form. When when a Data Entry process is started the first decision is to choose which of the several different methods/actions for Data Entry to use.
With this approach, users can collect and store multiple Data Entry Forms about the same item over time so that the entire history of the item is preserved in the system. The approach also provides a complete audit trail of all changes made to any information so that information managers can answer the question, "What did we know and when did we know it?"
</div>
The calculation of the Summary calculations are is done based on the '''Date of Information/''' and therefore it is important that Date of Report on the Data Entry Form, so it information is possible to enter data into reflecting the system out age of chronological order (that is, to collect past the information about an item) without disrupting the Summary. For example, if a fourth Data Entry Form were collected and dated between Data Entry Form #1 and Data Entry Form #2, it would have no effect on not the Summary as all information in the example was updated with Data Entry Form #2 or laterdate of entry into {{IMSMANG}}.
{{NoteWarning| Inserting a Data Entry Form i.e. based on ''Date of Information'' in a chain of updates must be done carefully so the expected end-result will be archived.}}
