__FORCETOC__{{HowTo's|[[Reconcile]]|[[Approve]]|[[Access and Use the Workbench Window | Workbench]]}}The ''Data Entry'' process is a series of steps to ensure high-level quality data inside {{TOC rightIMSMANG}}.

The ''Reconciliation and Approval'' Data Entry process is a series consists of three major steps to ensure the approval : # Reconcile# Data Entry# Approvean overview of high-level quality data inside IMSMA^NG. To help achieve this aim, operations staff classifies and organises the submitted data according to locally defined standard operating procedures (SOPs)process is found '''[[Reconcile|here]]'''.

The first step major steps consist in their turn of the ''Reconciliation'' process of a newly reported item is to assign it to its corresponding location folder. Newly reported items are often ''linked'' to ''any'' existing item several subtasks which may be carried out by one or more different persons and/or stakeholders in the IMSMA^NG datasetMine Action Programme. ''Updates replace'' or ''are combined'' with an existing item of For data quality purposes, it is important that the ''same'' categorydata is adequately checked. Updates display on the current view window of With multiple permission levels for the corresponding item and each reported update Approval, different users can be traced backassigned different permissions, allowing Mine Action Programmes to implement a data-entry workflow that distinguishes between data entry and data verification roles. It is important to have locally defined Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Data Entry which defines who-does-what and who is responsible for Data Verification.
