Creating a Validation | Managing Scheduled Validations
Administrators, Validators and Editors can run validations on the Validate page. GIS data uploaded to the default database will run through a series of data quality checks to help determine data readiness for NG9-1-1 systems.
Validations may be configured to be on-demand, scheduled, or recurring.
Creating a Validation
1. Select Validate in the Navigation Menu.
2. Click Create New Validation.
3. Name the validation job.
4. To run an on-demand validation, leave the Date and Time fields blank.
- To schedule a single validation, fill out the Date and Time fields. Users can schedule validations up to 31 days in advance.
- To schedule recurring validations, select a Recurring Frequency increment:
- Weekly
- Bi-weekly
- Monthly
5. Check the box by the Validation Sessions to run.
6. (Optional) Add a Note to the validation job for future reference.
7. Click Run Validation (or Schedule Validation) to run the validation or initiate the schedule.
After creating a validation, the user will be redirected to the Validation Results page.
Pro Tip: Schedule validations to run during non-business hours to optimize VEP workflows.
Caution: Validations are not able to run when there is an existing job running or a previously scheduled job within 6 hours of the new validation. If you get an alert that there is a job running or scheduled, retry the validation after the pending job finishes.
