Detailed Test Results – Bad Records Page

The following figure shows an example of a bad records page in the Detailed Test Results report:

The Bad Records page of the Detailed Test Results report shows the details about bad records. For each bad record, the report shows the bad value and the corresponding table pair join key or single table key. The report also shows additional information such as the recency of the tests included in the reports, whether all results are shown, and the time period that the report covers. The bottom of the report shows the date on which the report ran and the user who ran the report.
