Understanding what happens during a run helps you interpret the results and plan corrective work. When an assessment runs, Business Central:
Identifies the active validation rules and duplicate checks for each selected policy.
Reads the records from the policy table, applying any filters you set.
Evaluates each record:
For validation - checks any configured conditions first, then runs the rule only when those conditions are met. When a rule fails, it creates a failed result line.
For duplicate checks - compares records on the configured matching fields and creates a duplicate result line for each match found.
Stores a result line for every failure, with the details below.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Assessment Run ID | Unique identifier of the run, for example AR-000123. |
Policy ID | The data policy that produced the result. |
Table No. / Table Caption | The entity that was checked. |
Record ID | The specific record that failed. |
Check Type | Validation or Duplicate. |
Field(s) | The field or fields that caused the failure. |
Outcome | Whether the result is an error or a warning. |

When the run completes, Business Central generates a unique Assessment Run ID and confirms the submission, for example:
Note
Note or copy the Assessment Run ID so you can search for the run later in Validation History.
Example: “Data Quality Assessment has been submitted successfully. Assessment Run ID: AR-000123. Use this Assessment Run ID to track progress and review results in Validation History.”
