If you attempt to publish a Data Entry Form template from another IMSMA installation, you may be required to reconcile the CDFs in the Data Entry Form template to CDFs that are defined in IMSMA. Reconciliation is necessary to ensure that the data is associated with the correct CDF.

Please reconcile the following CDFs before publishing:”''
