Troubleshooting

 

Tip: If Action Levels have not been established for all of the chemicals included in the query, one or more errors may appear. One such error:

Return to the Action Level Exceedance Tab and click Filter.

Click the Filter button and select Non Blanks In the ACTION_LEVEL_CODE column.

Run the report again.
