Understanding the Data Validation Report
Understanding the Data Validation Report means understanding what data is being reported per rule within the Validation Group.
The Summary section lists all rules within the report, the number of students (occurrences) and the severity of each report. Rules included in the report are based on rules within the Validation Group being reported.
To quickly access rule information, select the name of the rule within the Rule column. You will be automatically sent to the area within the report where rule data exists.
The columns and information reported for each report is based on how each rule is defined within the Validation Rules tool.
If a Baseline Rule is used, the total population is returned along with the rate of the Primary Rule compared against the Baseline Rule.
