7. Select one of the following:
  - **Stop on error** option as the **Error Behaviour**.

When an error occurs while working with the Projectwise Data Flow Type, selecting this option will stop the process and log the error.
  - **Log and continue** option as the **Error Behaviour**.

When an error occurs while working with the Projectwise Data Flow Type, selecting this option will write an error message in the log files and continue processing the data flow, if possible.
8. When the system encounters a blank value for an attribute, you can choose its reaction to it. Select one of the following options for the **Blank Attribute Value** field.
