AGS 4 validation engine

The AGS 4 validation engine is now available in Manage. Run validation against your project data to catch issues before export.

What it covers

The engine includes seven rule categories, each with multiple checks:

• Depth rules - overlapping samples, gaps in continuous logs, samples exceeding final depth
• Spatial rules - coordinates outside site boundaries, missing or invalid grid references
• Date rules - end dates before start dates, dates in the future
• Completeness rules - required fields missing across AGS groups
• Relationship rules - orphaned child records, samples without parent locations
• Data quality rules - duplicate records, invalid values
• Geological rules - BS5930 checks against stratum descriptions and legend codes

How it works

Open a project in Manage and run the validator. Issues are grouped by rule with severity levels (error, warning, info) and row-level messages that tell you exactly what to fix. Each issue links back to the affected record.

Availability

Validation is available on Pro. The engine is built as a standalone package with full test coverage, so rules can be extended as standards evolve.
