Cart Length-Checking
Validation can include cart length-checking. This feature is enabled or disabled from the Options
menu. Select the Cart Length Check item and then set the +/- range, in seconds, to use. When length-
checking is enabled, the validation process first checks the cart's date to ensure it's valid for the log
date. Then, the logged length (from the log) is compared against the inventory's reported actual cart
length (to AUX mark). If the actual length does not fall within the range of the logged length plus or
minus the selected number of seconds, it is reported as having a length problem and will appear in the
list of problems. If you change the number of seconds to evaluate, you're prompted to re-validate the
log, which will now use the new value to determine if a cart meets the length requirements.
Filtering the Report
You can use the displayed Cart Mask combo box to select a cart filter to use. Cart filters are set up in
Preferences and are global to both inventory filtering and validation report filtering. See the section in
Preferences on Cart Filters for more information on creating cart filters. The effect of using cart filters is
to include only cart numbers that match a given filter set, thus reducing the displayed validation errors
to just those a particular user might want to see or take action on. For instance, the traffic department
might be interested only in commercials that don't validate, not music or jingles or promos.
Sorting the Report
You can change the sort order of the items list - just click on the column name that you wish to use for
sorting. Clicking once on a column sorts ascending; clicking a second time sorts descending.
Report Views
You can select different "views" of the data, which changes the display layout and affects which data is
displayed. You can choose to display only date problems, only length problems, only missing carts or
group data by problem type or cart number.
