Viewing the validation results

When the alignment is complete, the items are checked to ensure that they are ready to be extracted.

Items are marked in one of following possible states:

State Description Action
success Success The item is ready to be extracted.
warning Warning

The item is ready to be extracted but might match another item that is either included in the extraction, or an existing record.

Note: Any duplicates that are detected can be merged after extraction.
error Error An issue with the item must be addressed or the item cannot be extracted.

The following messages indicate an issue that prevents an item from being imported:

  • '0' for number fields
  • The current date for date fields
  • The current time for time fields
