Data Validation: Overview

Where to Start

1. Select Uploads, located at the bottom of the left side menu.

2. If any files require validation, the total amount will appear in the Uploaded Files section, labeled Needing Validation. Select this number to view all uploads in the validation phase.

3. A list of files that are being uploaded to eduCLIMBER appears. The Status column will read Validation and will be yellow, which indicates there is data that needs to be validated. Double selecting anywhere on a row that requires validation will take you to the file validation page.

Validating Files

The data that needs to be validated will depend on the type of file being imported. The validation tool will tell you exactly which records need attention.

1. After double selecting the upload row, the validation window will show all the areas that need attention on left side of the window.

 

2. Select an area to review, and a list of records that need to be validated will populate on the right.

3. When all of the records have been reviewed and all validations have saved, select the X in the upper right-hand corner to close the window. The file will display with the status of Ready.
4. The Set Ready button should ONLY be selected if the data listed in this window should NOT be uploaded into the platform, and should be ignored. Set Ready does not need to be selected if Validation Actions are completed.
