Unapprove a Data Entry Form from the Summary Window

The Unapprove feature should NOT be used to correct or delete data because if you use Unapprove Action then all traceability and transparency are lost. 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.

To do Data Entry and/or Submit/Approve Data Entry Forms, your IMSMANG user account must belong to a User Role that has permissions to do so. There are several different permissions e.g. Data Entry Form and Link. Contact your IMSMANG Administrator if you have questions on permissions.

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 item has links from/to other items, then the other items must first be Unapproved.
• If the Location has items assigned to it, then the items must first be Unapproved.
• If the Education has Education details assigned to it, the Education details must first be Unapproved.

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.

1. Open the item Summary window containing the Data Entry Form to unapprove.

The Data Entry Form is Unapproved and may be found in the Workbench. Item data added by that Data Entry Form is no longer included in the calculation of the item's Summary. The reconciliation information that existed prior to the Data Entry Form was Unapproved is still included on the Reconciliation tab of the unapproved Data Entry Form.
