To help achieve this aim, operations staff classifies and organises the submitted data according to locally defined standard operating procedures (SOPs). The first step 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 in the IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> dataset. ''Updates replace'' or ''are combined'' with an existing item of the ''same'' category. Updates display on the current view window of the corresponding item and each reported update can be traced back. ''Data'' approval is the final step of the reconciliation process. Approved data displays in the items pane.Workbench Window | Workbench]]

The ''Data Entry'' process is a series of steps to ensure high-level quality data inside {{IMSMANG}}.
The Data Entry process consists of three major steps:
# Reconcile
# Data Entry
# Approve
an overview of the process is found '''[[Reconcile|here]]'''.
The major steps consist in their turn of several subtasks which may be carried out by one or more different persons and/or stakeholders in the Mine Action Programme. For data quality purposes, it is important that the data is adequately checked. With multiple permission levels for the Approval, different users can be assigned 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.
