Yes, you can use a Checkpoint for this.

1. In the Preflight output connection "Carry this type of jobs" you choose 'Data with log'.
2. In the Checkpoint you set "Enable report viewing" to Yes.

Hi Robbie,

In the Pitstop component, please ensure that you configure an outgoing connection of type "Data + Log". It's important to assign a unique and meaningful name to the log. By default, it is simply named "log", which could lead to conflicts if that name is already in use (potentially overriding existing one). We recommend using a distinctive name such as "Preflight Report" to avoid any potential overrides.

Next, in the Checkpoint component, make sure the "Enable report viewing" option is set to Yes, and that the "Report dataset name" matches the name you've assigned to your report. Once this is configured correctly, you’ll be able to access the "Show Report" prompt once clicking on the job card.

If this final step isn’t completed in the Checkpoint, the report should still be visible under the "External Metadata" tab among other report (and can be confusing)

Additionally, you may consider setting up an XML report in Pitstop. This allows error and warning values to be displayed directly within the Checkpoint fields, offering a more detailed view.
