View and correct errors in a data file

If you see an error message after uploading your data file, you can view the errors so you will know exactly what to correct.

 

The FDSR system does not provide an online editing function, so if your file has errors, you will need to delete it, correct the errors and then upload it again.

 

  1. On the Data Upload and Conversion page, select View from the Actions column for the data file. The View Data File page appears.

  2. Select Show/Hide Errors and Warnings  to display the error details. A detailed table of all errors appears.

  3. Print this page, using the Print function on your Internet browser, or note the corrections you will need to make to the file.

  4. Correct the errors in the original data file on your own computer.

  5. When you have corrected all the errors, open the Data Upload and Conversion page and upload the corrected data file.

If the file is error-free, the Status column for the file will show a Valid/Reviewed status.
