Changes

In the following example, mine action Data Entry Forms are entered at each regional site for the ongoing operations in that region. Data Entry Forms are reconciled, linked and approved according to the regional operations needs. Using the export functionality, the regional sites export data on a regular basis (for example, monthly) and send it to the central authority. (Regional regional information managers can use the search functionality to export the Data Entry Forms entered since the last data exchange).) The central authority then imports the maXML files from each site and resolves any issues with the imports as well as performs quality control. When the import is complete, the central authority compiles a set of national statistics and then distributes a complete dataset (in the form of a database backup) to each of the regional sites. The regional sites restore the dataset and then import any data entered since the last export was sent to the central authority. When the backup is restored, regular data entry and exchange can continue, based on a common dataset.
