Validate Data Mapping Data Verification

Running the Validate Date Mapping Function verifies if:

It does not verify if:

  • Required loop tab names exist in the template (e.g., {#Parent}, {#Child})
  • Loop tag names are spelt correctly, case-sensitive, and properly nested
  • Nested loop tag structures are correct
  • Loop tag syntax is correct
Note:
If you receive the Uh oh. Something went wrong while exporting the report. Please wait a minute then try again error while exporting a report using the Export Templated Report option. Please attempt to manually validate the options listed above that are not verified during the Validate Data Mapping Function or contact the Support Team.
