1. Using the Command control bar type "validation-report" and press <ENTER>

The following table shows you how data is validated within the drillhole object:

Data type	Tests applied	If status is	Then action taken is

	existence of desurvey fields	all exist	desurvey
Surveys	missing holes	holes missing	report
	existence of desurvey fields	all exist	desurvey
Traces	missing holes	false	report
Assays	missing holes	holes missing	report
	gaps	gaps exist	report
	overlaps	overlaps exist	report
	hole length	length exceeds trace	extend
Lithology	missing holes	holes missing	report
	gaps	gaps exist	report
	overlaps	overlaps exist	report

	overlaps	overlaps exist	report
	hole length	length exceeds trace	extend
Depth log	missing holes	holes missing	report
