What does a yellow indication represent in the results of the Browse Tool?

A yellow indication in the results of the Browse Tool signifies the presence of empty strings within the data set. Empty strings are defined as fields that exist within the dataset but do not contain any characters, essentially acting as a placeholder with no actual content. This visual cue helps users identify areas in their data that may need attention or cleaning.

By highlighting empty strings in yellow, the Browse Tool assists users in ensuring data quality, as empty strings may impact data processing and analysis. The identification of such strings allows for further data validation and transformation steps to eliminate or replace these empty entries, thereby improving the overall integrity of the dataset.

Leading or trailing white spaces and null values are distinct concepts; leading or trailing spaces are extra spaces before or after a string in a field, while null values indicate the absence of any data in a field. Data that is considered "fine” would typically not be highlighted in any color indicating issues, reinforcing that the primary focus of the yellow indication is on identifying empty strings.
