Download Data Quality Reports

Batch Data Validation app will be used as a report reader-generated from created data monitor. When the job based on the Data Monitor schedule starts the status of completion will be visible in the Data Validation Jobs.

1. Validate the job status:

Job ID	Job in progress	Job is done

2. If it's finished, scroll down to the Data Validation Reports

3. Check the completion status of the report
