# Assessment processing and result storage

Understanding what happens during a run helps you interpret the results and plan corrective work. When an assessment runs, Business Central:

1. Identifies the active validation rules and duplicate checks for each selected policy.
2. Reads the records from the policy table, applying any filters you set.
3. 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.
4. 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. |
| Message | The message defined on the rule. |
| Status | Open, Accepted Deviation, or Resolved. |
| Execution Date/Time | When the result was generated. |

When the run completes, Business Central generates a unique **Assessment Run ID** and confirms the submission, for example:

> [!NOTE]
> 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.”*
