Data entry is performed by completing data entry form templates.

Data entry form templates may contain different data field formats:

  • alphanumeric or numeric-only 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.
