How does the upload and validation process work?

After a file is submitted, the Panel Processor completes several automated steps:

  1. File type validation
  2. Virus scanning
  3. Data validation against template rules
  4. Database upload
  5. Final validation

If any row fails validation, the entire file will fail. Users can review detailed errors in the Upload History tab.
