The Validation Edit Menu can be used to Edit data and correct validation errors in the Validation Report Window. To open the Validation Edit Menu, the user must follow these steps:

1. Open a validation check interface (Sample Sections & TOPS, Import, Cross, or Coverage).
2. Select a location to check. If "Specific Location", fill out at least the County or Route Type picklist as well.
3. Select a validation to run. For the Import, Cross, or Coverage interfaces, more than one validation check can be run at one time.
4. Select the "Open Report Window" button.
5. 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 eight static columns displayed in the Validation Edit Menu table: checkbox selector, validation error (), County, Route ID, From Measure, To Measure, Section Length, and Sample ID. The table also contains additional columns for other data items which are determined by the validation report from which the Validation Edit Menu was opened. In the example above, the AADT column is included since "AADT" was the selected validation to run.

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 () or click on the caution icon to view a description of the validation error.
3. Edit data items by clicking into the desired cell and entering new values into the resulting picklist or textbox. 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.
