The Reconciliation and Approval process is a series of steps to ensure the approval of high-level quality data inside IMSMANG. 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 IMSMANG dataset. Updates replace or are combined with an existing item of the same category. Updates display on the summary 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.
