Viewing validation log reports

The Validation Queue provides general information on why readings data failed validation. However, if you want more specific information on why the data failed, you can use the View Validation Log Reports command to open a validation report for that specific service point. This report gives detailed, channel-level validation results that can help you pinpoint and resolve the failed status.

The interval validation report provides a detailed analysis of validation results, which is useful for complex Commercial and Industrial scenarios and other interval metering deployments. The much simpler register validation report is intended for residential and small commercial validations.
