Topic: Validation query
I am trying to use record cleaner to check excel spreadsheets when they arrive at the LRC before they are entered into R6.
In the validation process a lot of records may be rejected because they are not valid names. However record cleaner does not seem to be able to match names as well as R6. So it rejects a name with sp. in which R6 can match. I know that these sp issues and spelling mistakes can be much easier sorted when importing through R6. I would therefore like the ability to continue and verify grid ref for instance. I don't really want to sort out all these taxonomic issues in record cleaner as it has to be repeated when importing into R6.
Also record cleaner may reject some records because they are just outside the VC. I may want to coninue wih verification as the grid ref is still correct. But again there is no option to do so.
Alternatively I could import into R6 and then verify but it seems to negate the purpose of record cleaner.
Would be glad of some advice as I want to get past this frustration so that I can apply these verification rules. I did write previously but it seemed to be ignored.
Thanks in anticipation
