Viewing the Details of a Bad Record

If you know what caused a record to fail, you can take corrective action on the data. You can view the details of a bad record for value tests, unique tests, and set tests in the Bad Records view.
  1. Run a test.

    tab of the details area, click the test.
    If the test failed, the properties area includes a
    Bad Records
    view.
  3. Click the
    Bad Records
    view.
