The Write Exceptions stage enables you to select which field data is returned to the exceptions repository
Fields that appear in the table depend upon the stages that occur upstream in the dataflow. If, for instance, you have a Validate Address stage in the dataflow, you would see such fields as AddressLine1, AddressLine2, City, PostalCode, and so on in the Write Exceptions stage.
The order of the fields is determined by how they are ordered when they come into the Write Exceptions stage. You can reorder the fields by selecting a row and using the up 
and down 
buttons next to the table to move the row up or down in the table. The order you select here will persist for all users in the Data Stewardship Portal, but each user can reorder the fields within the Portal to their own liking.
Table columns
- Field Name
-
Select this check box to return field data to the exceptions repository. By default, this check box is selected for all fields. Clear the check box for any field that you do not want returned to the exceptions repository.
- Allow Viewing
-
You may have input fields that you want in the repository but do not want to be viewable within the Data Stewardship Portal. This could be due to the field containing sensitive data or simply because you want to streamline what appears in the Portal. Check the Allow viewing box to designate which of the selected fields should be viewable once they are passed to the exceptions repository. By default, all fields are viewable. Uncheck the box for any field you do not want visible in the Portal.
- Allow Editing
-
Select this check box to make fields editable in the Portal after they are passed to the exceptions repository. By default, the Allow editing column is checked for all fields in the table. Uncheck the box for any field you wish to be returned to the exceptions repository in a read-only state.
- Lookup Name
- Use the lookup function to assign a lookup to a field containing problematic data. You can select from the list of lookups that have been defined in the Data Stewardship Settings tool or you can manually enter the name of the lookup. Lookups can only be assigned to fields whose type is string. For more information, see Lookups.
Option
- Allow user to create Best of Breed records in Portal
- Select this check box to perform manual record consolidation when data matches cannot be made using standard rules. This feature copies a selected record within a group and uses it instead of the duplicates for processing. This option is available only for grouped exception records that are generated from a matching job, which is identified by the presence of the CandidateGroup field or the CollectionNumber field. When you use this option, a read-only field called “CollectionRecordType” will be added to the exception record. You can see this field at the bottom of the list. Note that all options for that field are disabled.
