Purpose:  

Included below are the various error messages which may be generated on the Chart-Abstracted Data Entry page when edits are executed. The edits do not run “real-time”, instead they will run when the “Submit” button is clicked.

If an edit error was found,” Month – Errors” will show on the top of the month that had an error. Scroll down the page to find the error messages, correct the errors, and click the “Submit” button to reprocess the data against the edits.

If no error is found, “Month – Saved” will show on the top of the month and the quarter will revert to the “Edit” button.
