Location: Compare>Check Certification

Use this function to determine if a compare sessions report file is still a certified document. If opened with no error and showing the encrypted certification data, the certification is good. If however opening the file shows checksum errors then the certification has been compromised/altered and fails.

Using this Function:

1. Run a  compare session and write a report if not yet accomplished for the certification check.

2. Choose Compare>Check Certification and use the file open dialog to browse for the .kvt session files location. Click Open when located.

3. The Certification summary will appear in a separate window for your review.
