Exception Tasks in the Exceptions Workspace

When you open an exception task, the Exceptions workspace lists the records in the task and displays the options that you can set for the task. The task opens on the Data Editing tab. The tab displays a common set of options for correct exceptions tasks and review exceptions tasks.
The Analyst tool changes the background color of any cell that contains an unresolved data quality issue. Examine the records, and update the cells. When you update a data value, the Analyst tool clears the cell background color and adds a green check mark to the cell. You can use the cursor to reveal any previous value in the cell.
When you finish work on a record, update the record status. When you finish work on all of the records in the task, update the task status to indicate that the records are ready for the next stage in the workflow.
