Verify Data – District Level

The Pennsylvania State Center's Validate Data option lets you apply validation rules for selected students or for all students. You can review the results in the log file created by running the option, or you can use the Validation Results option to view results from your run and previous district-level validation runs.

To run the Verify Data option at the district level:

Select Regulatory > Validation > Validation > Validate Data.
On the Verify Data page, specify how you want to process the option. Refer to the Processing Prompts section for more information.
Define Filter criteria if you want to run the option for selected students.
Click Run to verify the data.
Review the log file to see the number of students processed and the number of errors found. The default log name is Verify Data Log. If you changed the task name, the log name will match the task name you entered.
Use the Verification Results option to review errors.
