    The Workbench window displays (Figure 62).

To access the Workbench window from the menu toolbar:

  1. From the Data Entry menu, select Data Entry Forms.

Workbench status values and workflow

Each Data Entry Form in the Workbench has a status associated with it. These status values are described in Table 27.

Table 27. Workbench Status Values
Status Value Description
Needs Completion The Data Entry Form has been added, but all of the information for the Data Entry Form cannot yet be entered into IMSMA.
Needs Approval The Data Entry Form information has been entered and is ready to be reviewed by a manager. In order to approve a Data Entry Form, it must have a location assigned to it and all items in the Data Entry Form must be reconciled.

Note: Approved Data Entry Forms are not displayed in the Workbench window. They will be displayed in the Location View and Item View windows.

Needs Revision The Data Entry Form has been reviewed and rejected by a manager and needs more information to be approved.
Unapproved The Data Entry Form was previously approved and has been unapproved.
