Unapproving a Field Report
If you find that a field report was incorrectly reconciled, you can unapprove the field report. Unapproving a field report removes data contained in the field report from the current view.
Represents a tip or note for using IMSMA Mobile. | If you need to correct data, you should create a new field report to update the item. |
A few considerations before you attempt to unapprove a field report:
- If you unapprove a field report that removes the item record from IMSMA, the warning, “The object displayed in this view has been deleted from the system, and now represents data no longer in the system.” displays. The icon associated with the item record will no longer display in the IMSMA Navigation window.
- If the current view of the item record is comprised of multiple field reports and one of those field reports is unapproved, the message, “The item displayed in this view has been updated. To see changes, reopen the view from the main navigation.” displays. The next time that the current view of the item is displayed, data from the unapproved field report will not be included.
- If the field report is linked to other item records, the link is removed.
- If the field report you are trying to unapprove removes the item record from IMSMA and is linked to other item records, the links in those item records are also removed.
- You cannot unapprove a field report if unapproving that field report would remove the item from IMSMA and there are item records associated with that location. This applies to location field reports that have other item field reports associated to it, or MRE field reports that have MRE details. If you would like to unapprove the parent item, you will need to first unapprove any child items that it may have associated with it.
- You cannot unapprove a location field report if the remaining field reports do not contain required data. For example, you cannot unapprove a location field report if the remaining field reports for that location do not contain country structure data.
- It is currently not possible to unapprove a field report if that field report created multiple items. For example, you cannot unapprove a field report that created an accident, victim, and location.
To unapprove a field report:
- Open the item view containing the field report to unapprove.
- Click the Field Report button.
- The Field Reports window displays.
- Select the field report from the list, and then click the Open Selected Report button.
- The Field Report Editor window displays.
- Click Unapprove.
- The field report is unapproved and returned to the Workbench. Item data added by that field report no longer display in the item view.
