Errors or warnings or
both?
Validation errors are showstoppers. You can’t submit an SDR if they
exist. Validation warnings don’t prevent you from submitting an SDR
and so many people don’t bother with them.
If you do decide to download both make sure that you save each
downloaded file with a different name. For example, if your EduMIS
number is 9999 you would save them as “9999_errors E.csv” and
“9999_errors W.csv”.
If you want Hermes to import both errors and warnings you need to
use Excel to combine the records in both files by appending warning
records to the error records. Save the combined file with a new
name, for example “9999_errors EW.csv”
Importing CSV files
Click Tools and then SDR Validation Reports. This opens a new form
and you click Import to select a CSV file to import. You will get a
message when the import has been successfully completed.
Each time you import a file it overwrites the previously imported
data.
Validation reports
You can produce summary reports and detailed exception reports.
When producing detail exception reports you can select records for
individual error/warning codes, all errors, all warnings, or all
records. Both reports can be exported to Excel.
You can also select from two methods of ordering the detail reports:


20 | P a g e
By entity – shows all errors/warning for student-by-student
or course-by-course.
With this method selected you can also opt to group the
records by the site code in the course enrolment file. This is
very useful if you have multiple campuses.
By exception instance – shows all errors/warning in code
order (errors before warnings) and the individual exceptions
for each code.
