TT - Validate Imported Data
Validate Imported Data Overview
This program will validate the master timetable data previously imported into TASS.web through Student Admin > Timetable > External Data Interface > Import Data. This process will ensure that only valid rows pass validation and may subsequently be loaded into the master timetable.
Following validation, you will have the opportunity to print an 'Exceptions Report' which will list details of any rows which fail validation, enabling you to make the necessary amendments and reimport the data.
When using multiple timetables, you must specify a timetable ID (see below). Alternatively, in single timetable mode, a year and term/semester must be specified.
