From the Workbench window, you can approve a single field report or multiple field reports at one time. You must have access to the Field Report Approval permission to approve field reports.

IMSMA currently allows you to approve a field report that contains no data. Be sure to enter at least one value into your field report before you approve it.

To approve field reports from the Workbench:

1. From the Data Entry menu, select Field Reports.
2. From the Field Reports menu, select View Workbench.

The Workbench window displays.

3. Locate the row associated with the field report you want to approve and determine if the report is ready to be approved. See Table 29 for additional information.
