Unapprove a Data Entry Form from the Summary Window

The Unapprove feature should not be used to correct or delete data. If you need to correct data, you should create a new Data Entry Form using the Update action. If you need to delete an item, you should create a new Data Entry Form using the Delete action.

A few considerations before you attempt to unapprove a Data Entry Form:

• If the Summary of the item is comprised of multiple Data Entry Forms, then you can only unapprove the latest Data Entry Form.
• If the Data Entry Form is linked to other items, the link is removed.
• If the Data Entry Form you are trying to unapprove removes the item from IMSMA^NG and is linked to other items, the links in those items are also removed.
• You cannot unapprove a Location Data Entry Form if unapproving that Data Entry Form would remove the Location from IMSMA and there are items associated with that Location.
• You cannot unapprove an Education Data Entry Form that have Education details. If you would like to unapprove the parent Education item, you will need to first unapprove any Education details items that it may have associated with it.
• You cannot unapprove a Data Entry Form when the Data Entry Form template contains multiple items. For example, you cannot unapprove a Data Entry Form that created an Accident and a Victim.
• If you unapprove a Data Entry Form, it will be moved to the workbench. You will see this message, “Data Entry Form <Item> has been unapproved, and can now be found in the workbench.”, displayed.
