During the validation process, the user can edit data and correct validation errors using the Validation Edit Menu. When the user opens the Validation Edit Menu, a window similar to the below will appear.

Open the Interface

In order to open the Validation Edit Menu, the user must follow these steps: 

1. Fill out the appropriate validations check interface (Sample Sections & TOPS, Import, Cross, or Coverage) and select the "Open Report Window" button.
2. Select the pencil icon () on the desired data item row in the resulting pop-up. Once selected, a window will appear with a table of data items along the route corresponding to the selected rule in the validation report.

There are seven static columns displayed in the Validation Edit Menu table: checkbox selector, validation error (), Parish, Route ID, From Measure, To Measure, Section Length, and Sample ID. The table also contains additional columns for other data items; these columns are determined by the validation report from which the Validation Edit Menu was opened. 

Correct Errors

The user can correct validation errors in the Validation Edit Menu table. The steps below will guide you through the correcting process.

1. Find a row where a caution icon () appears in the Validation Error column or use the “Next” and “Previous” links above the table to navigate to the next or previous validation error.
2. Hover the cursor over the caution icon () to view a description of the validation error.
3. Edit data items by clicking into the desired cell. Depending on the item, a picklist or a text field will appear. As updates occur, rows will be checked again for validation errors. If no errors exist for the row, the error icon will be removed. If an error is created for a row, an error icon will appear in the Error Icon column.
4. After fixing the validation errors, click the “Save Changes” button. To commit changes to the source data, check the “Save data to source” checkbox before saving changes.

NOTE: Currently, the Route ID, From Measure, and To Measure fields are not editable through the Validation Edit Menu. Additionally, adding and deleting a row is disabled at this time.
