How to resolve AVR+ validation issues

Validation turns a spreadsheet conversion into an exchange-ready AVR+ file. Treat each issue as a prompt to verify the underlying source information.

Check production information first

Confirm the production title, category, duration and any available audiovisual identifiers. Make sure the information refers to the production or episode being reported.

Then check every cue

Review the cue sequence, title, timing, duration, type and usage. Make sure timing is internally consistent and that no cue has been unintentionally omitted.

Separate works, recordings and parties

For each cue, distinguish the work from its recording and identify the relevant interested parties. Check that roles, territories and shares match your source data.

Export only after issues are resolved

Use the builder’s validation result as the final checklist. If a field cannot be confirmed, return to the original cue sheet or rights data rather than guessing.
