Data Integrity Tools

WebAdMIT to TargetX Data Integrity tools

To validate data integrity on the data migrated from CAS to TargetX, you'll utilize Reports in Salesforce/TargetX.

Prerequisites to Validate Data Integrity

Documents like the full Application PDF, Foreign Evaluation, Transcripts, and Recommendation Letters can't be reported on; so you need to create custom fields for the full Application PDF and Foreign Evaluation, to mark items received. For transcripts, use the Official Transcripts Received flag; for recommendation letters, use the Applies to Requirement or Completes Requirement flag.
