Data Verification

01. What is data verification?

02. Why is data verification essential?

03. When do I verify my data and why do I need to verify my data on time?

04. Where do I start verifying my organisation's data?

05. My Verification reports in HEIMS Online have yellow and red boxes labelled "intermediate" and "high". What do these mean?

06. Do I need to revise inconsistencies in the data before the verification sign-off date?

07. I clicked Refresh Reports on my verification reports this morning, and this afternoon its status is still "Data refreshing". Is there something wrong with the system?

08. I submitted a revision to my data today. Why can't I see the changes in the Data View or Verification reports?

09. I accidentally clicked the Refresh Reports button on my Verification report. Is there any way to override the refresh process so that I can sign off today?

11. How do I start checking the data before the verification period?

12. Can you provide a link to the website for verifying data?

14. Where can I find the refresh reports button?

15. What should you do if there is a FEE‑HELP remission reported during the verification period?

16. Can we change the data after data refreshing and before sign off?

17. Are there any thoughts to making the verification process live, so that changes uploaded through HEPCAT don't have to wait overnight?

19. How do we deal with students when their census was in 2015 but their data was not reported until submission period 1/1/16 ‑ 30/06/16?

20. If we have revisions pending for census dates that fall within this half year do we need to report the revisions before starting verifying the data?

22. Would the full year verification include the need to re‑verify data verified in the first half year?
