### 8.3.3. Data diagnostics

Always after invoking calculations a data diagnostics run is made and the diagnostics results window is displayed. The diagnostics window does not appear if there are no messages to display – then the first calculations tab is automatically selected.

The window displays messages on incorrect or suspected data found during the diagnostic run. If connection errors are found, appropriate messages are displayed and other data are not checked. These errors must be corrected and calculations should be invoked again.

The types and syntax of messages and the manner of finding components associated with these messages is described in the others subsections.

After analysing the diagnostics messages you can go back to editing and correcting data (press the “Back” button) or proceed to calculations (press the “Next” button). If errors occur, you cannot carry on with the calculations: an appropriate message is displayed in the lower left corner of the window and the “Next” button is not available.

If you go back to editing all messages that were displayed in the diagnostics window are transferred to the error list (see section 9.7). You can then easily find and rectify all irregularities in the data.
