3. On the Actions menu, click Download Rules.
4. In the Cross-Validation Rules dialog box, select the name of the cross-validation rule you want to view. Optionally, use one of these other operators to find the cross-validation rule: Starts with, Ends with, or Contains.
   Note: To download all of the cross-validation rules for the chart of accounts, leave the Name field blank.
