Data Cleaner Period Module

This module replicates the functionality of the NBN Record Cleaner Period rule type. It allows a warning to be tagged against records where the species is recorded oustide a given date range, or can be reversed so that the warning occurs when the record is within the date range. A typical use of this rule might be to provide a notification for a record of a species which arrived in the country on a known date. For correct configuration in the warehouse, create a new verification rule with the following settings:

• Title and Description set as required.

• Test Type = Period

• Error Message = …

• Reverse Rule - tick this box if you want to report records of a species which are in a date range rather than not in a date range.

• Metadata =

  StartDate=start of the date range in hhhhmmdd format.
  EndDate=end of the date range in hhhhmmdd format
  Tvk=External key (normally the preferred taxon version key) of the species
  Taxon=Preferred taxon name
  TaxonMeaningId=Meaning ID from the database for the species
  

Note that you only need to supply a Tvk, Taxon or TaxonMeaningId setting to identify the species.
