Using Data Entry Forms
The preferred method of entering data is not to start from the Data Entry menu. |
The Data Entry process consists of three major steps:
1. Reconile
2. Data Entry
3. 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.
