Publishing a field report Data Entry Form template makes the template available to other IMSMA users for data entry.
{{note|If you think you might need to change the field report Data Entry Form at a later time, you should first save the field report Data Entry Form so that you can modify the existing field report Data Entry Form template. Otherwise, you will need to recreate the field report Data Entry Form template.

<ol>
<li>Click the '''Publish''' button.</li>
