Running Technical Review Checks

Running TRCs

Prior to submission approval at the local level, the user must run a TRC for each data type. Your data is checked according to state-defined specifications. After the TRCs have run, a report of each check and an explanation of the errors are available to be reviewed, exported, or printed.
