The first thing you will notice on the screen is the errors scale or the Data Verification gauge. In the image shown, the gauge (red arrow) is in the green region indicating that the data is in good standing and practically completely error-free; it is 96% Error-Free as stated next to the gauge. The further the gauge gets to the red portion, the more errors have been found in your data.

As you scroll down the page, you will see more information about the data and the errors. Data will be broken up into sections all starting with a gray arrow. The first column of information displays error numbers and percentages.

  • If there are 0 errors, the font will be black, and the percentage of error-free data will be listed in parentheses as (100%) as shown in the image.
  • If data is 90% to 99% error-free, the font will be in blue.
  • If data is between 80% and 90% error-free, the font will be in yellow.
  • If data is less 80% error-free, the font will be in red.

The second column displayed next to the number of errors is a description of DOE rules and regulations. These descriptions will help explain what errors are being found in your data. As shown in the image, the first error explains that If 'Grade Level' is 09-12, then 'Resident Status, State/County' must be 0, A, B, 2, or 3. If 'Grade Level' is 30-31, 5, 6, 7. (Exception).

For a list of the errors to be addressed, click the number or errors.
