# Monitor validation history

In the **Data quality studio parameters**, you can enable logging of data quality policy validation rules execution.

Validation rule execution results are

- Logged only when you manually add or change records. Each time a validation rule is executed, an entry is logged.
- Not logged if the data quality policy is run by a:
  - Data quality assessment.
  - Connectivity Studio data import.

You can review and process the logged validation rule execution results.

For each logged validation rule execution result, you can:

- Set the review status.
- Open the source record to make changes, if desired.

The validation status of a logged validation rule execution result can be:

- **Success**: The validation rule is met.
- **Failed**: The validation rule is not met and results in an error or warning.
- **Skipped**: The validation rule is not executed because its conditions are not met.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data quality studio** > **Inquiries** > **Policy execution logs**.
2. In the list, find and select the desired record.
3. Sub-task: Change review status to '**In progress**'.
  1. Click **Change status** to open the drop dialog.
  2. In the **Review status** field, select '**In progress**'.
  3. Click **OK**.
  4. Click **Yes**.
4. Sub-task: Review and edit source record.
  1. In the list, find and select the desired record.
  2. You can open the source record to review it and make changes, if desired.

Click **Open source record**.
  3. If desired, click **Edit**, and make changes.

Click **Edit**.
  4. Close the page.
5. Sub-task: Change review status to '**Accept deviation**' or '**Completed**'.
  1. In the list, find and select the desired record.
  2. Click **Change status** to open the drop dialog.
  3. When review and editing of a record is done, you can change the review status to one of these statuses:

In the **Review status** field, select '**Accept deviation**' or '**Completed**'.
    - **Accept deviation**: You did not make changes to the source record. So, you accept the deviation from the validation rule.
    - **Completed**: You made changes to the source record.
  4. If you set the review status to '**Accept deviation**', also define a reason code to explain why you accept the deviation.

In the **Reason code** field, enter or select the desired reason code.
  5. In the **Reason notes** field, type a value.
  6. Click **OK**.
  7. Click **Yes**.
6. Close the page.
