Validation Results

Watch this step Understand validation results (4:51)

A session may:

  • Pass validation.
  • Pass with warnings.
  • Fail because required information is missing or invalid.

If validation identifies a problem, review the listed field or observation and correct it before validating again.

Note

Validation checks data compliance. It does not guarantee that every inspection observation or field entry is operationally correct.

Validation and NASSCO Export

NASSCO exports cannot be completed until the selected sessions pass the required NASSCO validation.

When validation fails, Central identifies the Session ID of the inspection that failed so the session can be located and corrected.

NASSCO export validation error

Correct the required header or observation information, validate again, and then retry the export.
