This article explains the Validation Results and Action Types tabs in your IntegrityCounts setup sheet. These fields help you track how reports are handled and what actions were taken.

Best Practices:

• Use neutral, professional language.
• Choose categories that reflect your investigative workflow.

Action Types:

Action types describe the response or follow-up taken once a case is reviewed. These help show accountability and closure steps.

Examples:
