{{Reference guide header|The Data Entry process is a series of steps to ensure the approval of high-level quality data inside {{IMSMANG}}. To help achieve this aim, 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.
 
The Data Entry process consists of three major steps:
 
 
#Reconcile
 
#Data Entry
 
#Approve.
 
 
Data entry is performed by completing Data Entry Form templates. Data Entry Form templates contain different data field formats for example: alphanumeric or numeric fields, multiple or single-select lists and table widgets.
 
 
Once completed, a Data Entry Form may be Saved or Submitted for approval.
 
 
The Data Entry Form templates have been designed by your IMSMA administrator. Follow your local SOP or contact your IMSMA administrator for guidance on how to enter data.
