Add a Data Entry Form from the Summary Window

This is the recommended action for adding new items to IMSMANG but it should not be used for adding new Locations. For new Locations, the action Reconcile as New should be used.

Example scenario: a new Completion report should be added.

  1. Start data entry from the Land Summary Window and click the FieldTemplateIcon.png button.
  2. The Template for New Data Entry Form window displays.
  3. Select the Data Entry Form template that you would like to use:
    Select Template New.png

    Select in this scenario Inspiration Activity Completion template

  4. Click OK.
  5. The Data Entry Form Editor displays a new Data Entry Form. The following information are automatically populated:
    • Form ID
    • Item ID
    • Date of information
    • Reconciliation tab
    • Adding a Data Entry Form from a Location Summary window automatically assigns the Location to the Data Entry Form.
    • Adding a Data Entry Form from the other Summary windows automatically assigns the Location to the new Data Entry Form and Links the new Data Entry Form to current the Summary item. (see the examples below)

  6. If appropriate, Link to other items too.
  7. Enter the data into the Data Entry Form. For more information on how to do data entry, see Use the Data Entry Form Editor Window.
  8. Verify that the Date of Information is correct. It should reflect the age of the information (not the date of data entry).
  9. Add data id.png

    The Activity ID will be changed from Activity-14 to e.g. CR-152

  10. If your Mine Action Programme is using special number series for Completion reports (e.g. CR-xx) then click on the Generate ID Number.png to get the next number in that number series.
  11. Save, Submit or Approve the Data Entry Form.

The next step in this scenario would be to consider if the Land status should be changed. If the Land status should be changed then the recommended action to use is Update from Summary Window.

Special Case

When the Data Entry Form template contains data fields from both Education and Education detail then you need to use double reconciliation.

  1. Open the Location Summary window where you would like to add an Education.
  2. Enter the data in both parts for the Data Entry Form template.
  3. The Reconciliation tab has now two rows.

    Reconciliation Tab - Add Action Education with Education Details

  4. Select the Education Detail row.

    Reconciliation Tab - Reconcile Education Details to the Education

  5. Click on ReconItemRecIcon.png.
  6. Choose Reconcile as New.
  7. Click OK.

    Reconciliation Tab is populated

  9. If appropriate, Link to other items too.
  10. Save, Submit or Approve the Data Entry Form.

Note.jpg To do Data Entry and/or Submit/Approve Data Entry Forms, your IMSMANG user account must belong to a User Role that has permissions to do so. There are several different permissions e.g. Data Entry Form and Link. Contact your IMSMANG Administrator if you have questions on permissions.
