TavrendoPass User Guide: Common Tasks
Choose the task that matches what you are trying to accomplish.
Check Folder
Select the folder you plan to deliver, choose a Profile, run the check, and review the PASS, WARN, or FAIL result.
Profiles
Profiles store reusable rules so similar deliveries can be checked the same way every time.
Starter Templates
Starter Templates provide editable starting points for common delivery types.
Verify Folder
Compare a current folder with a Saved Record to identify Matched, Missing, Unexpected, or Modified files.
Compare Saved Versions
Compare an Earlier Version Saved Record with a Newer Version Saved Record to review added, removed, modified, and unchanged files, plus possible rename or move candidates.
Reports & Records
Save readable CSV reports for documentation, or save a Record for future verification and version comparison.
Compare Two Live Folders
Select Folder A and Folder B to compare their current contents without creating Saved Records first.
Verify After Copy or Delivery
Compare a destination folder with a Saved Record created before transfer. BatchPass verifies the result; it does not copy or transfer files.
Repeat a Recent Check
Restore a recent folder and Profile selection, then run a fresh check against the folder’s current contents.
Your first folder check
A basic TavrendoPass check only takes a few steps.
1
1. Open TavrendoPass
Launch TavrendoPass and choose Check Folder from the left navigation.
2
2. Choose a Profile
Select a Profile or Starter Template that matches your delivery requirements.
3
3. Select the Target Folder
Click Select Folder and choose the local folder you want to audit.
4
4. Review Rules
Briefly confirm that the rules shown match what you expect to check.
5
5. Run Check
Click Run Check to begin the automated audit of your files.
6
6. Observe PASS, WARN, or FAIL
Check the primary status indicator. Green = PASS, Amber = WARN, Red = FAIL.
7
7. Review Findings and Coverage
Review reported issues, coverage information, and recorded exceptions, even when the result is PASS.
8
8. Correct Outside TavrendoPass and Re-run
Make any necessary corrections using your usual tools, then run a fresh check and review the result.
9
9. Save Documentation
Save a CSV Receipt and a Record once the check passes.
If you change the folder after getting PASS, run TavrendoPass again before delivery.
Profiles and Starter Templates
A Profile defines what TavrendoPass should check. Profiles turn a manual delivery checklist into reusable rules so the same requirements can be checked repeatedly.
Use a Starter Template when:
- You are checking a common delivery type for the first time.
- You need a baseline set of rules that you can adapt later.
- You want to see examples of how specific rules are configured.
- You want to see an example of how common BatchPass checks can be combined.
Starter Templates are starting points, not universal requirements. Review and customize them before relying on them for real deliveries.
Create or customize a Profile when:
- You have specific required file names or folder structures.
- You need to check for specific file extensions.
- You want to identify exact duplicate content.
- You need to enforce minimum or maximum file size limits.
- You must verify numbered file sequences (e.g., 001 to 100).
- You have strict naming conventions (e.g., no spaces or specific prefixes).
- You want to detect empty or zero-byte files that should be reviewed
- Multiple deliveries need to be checked against the exact same rules.
Documentation Note
Always test your Profiles against known good deliveries before widespread use.
How to create a Profile
A custom Profile turns your real delivery requirements into repeatable BatchPass checks.
Note: Only require what is truly required. A Profile that is too strict can create unnecessary failures.
1. Open Profile Editor
Access the editor from the BatchPass main menu to begin building your custom ruleset.
2. Name your Profile
Use descriptive names like “Client X - Website Assets” or “Q3 Project Archive” for easy identification.
3. Add required folders
Define any folders that must be present in a valid delivery.
4. Set Mandatory Files
List specific file names that must be present (e.g., manifest.json, index.html, or readme.txt).
5. Choose Rule Types
Enable rules for file extensions, minimum/maximum sizes, duplicate detection, and naming conventions.
6. Configure Numbered Sequences
If your workflow uses sequences (like image-001.jpg), set the expected range to detect missing gaps.
7. Review your rules
Confirm that the Profile checks only the requirements that actually matter for this delivery.
8. Save and Test
Save your Profile and run it against a known good folder to ensure the logic matches your real requirements.
Which Profile should I use?
Choose a sample Profile that fits your delivery, then review and customize its rules to match your actual requirements.
Profile Type
Best For
Generic Folder Check
Best for general folder and file checks when you do not need a highly specialized workflow.
Website Client Handoff
Best for website-related delivery folders and supporting files.
Photo Delivery
Best for photo and image delivery workflows.
Numbered Document Set
Best when numbered files are expected and sequence gaps matter.
Custom Profile
Best when a client, project, or internal workflow has specific requirements.
If a sample Profile does not match your real workflow, customize it rather than forcing your folder to match the sample.
Understanding PASS, WARN, and FAIL
PASS
PASS means the configured checks applied to the available evidence passed at the time of the check. Review coverage notes and exceptions as well. PASS does not certify document correctness, complete coverage, or suitability for every purpose.
Understanding Coverage and Progress
Review coverage information alongside the result. Inventoried counts describe files observed by the scanner; they do not by themselves prove that every file was hashed or verified. Recorded exceptions explain available evidence about exclusions, access problems, or other limitations.
Progress may be indeterminate while the total work is unknown and show a bounded percentage when a total is available. Reaching 100% means the workflow completed—not that every requirement passed.
WARN
A warning identifies something worth checking even if the folder may still be usable. Review the warning details and decide whether the condition is acceptable for your workflow.
FAIL
Review the Issues section, correct the folder, and run the check again. A failure indicates the folder does not meet the mandatory criteria of the active Profile.
Common problems TavrendoPass can report
A detailed audit identifies specific failures based on your Profile configuration.
Missing required file
A file specified as mandatory in the Profile was not found in the checked folder.
Naming rule issue
A filename or folder name does not meet a naming rule configured in the selected Profile.
Invalid file extension
A file has an extension that is blocked or not explicitly allowed by the Profile rules.
Exact duplicate content
Two or more files contain identical data, even if they have different names or are in different subfolders.
Numbered sequence gap
A numbered file sequence (e.g., Image001, Image002) is missing an expected number in the series.
The exact issues shown depend on the rules enabled in the selected Profile.
RESULTS
Review Results
- Best for: Reviewing findings and file changes in BatchPass.
- Good for: Understanding the result alongside available coverage notes, exceptions, and limitations.
Note: For important deliveries, save the available report or CSV and create a Saved Record when you need later verification.
Reports and Saved Records
Check workflows support the available check reports and Saved Records. Verification supports verification CSVs and readable reports. Comparison CSVs include old/new paths, file sizes, and SHA-256 fingerprints beyond the simplified on-screen table. Coverage notes remain in the application’s results panel.
CSV files include a header row, so the first data row normally appears on row 2 in Excel. Spreadsheet row numbers are not BatchPass finding identifiers.
CSV
CSV Exports
- Best for: Spreadsheet review and documentation.
- Good for: Saving the CSV output available in each workflow. Comparison CSVs include old/new paths, file sizes, and SHA-256 fingerprints.
RECORD
Saved Record
- Best for: Later verification and saved-version comparison.
- Good for: Recording file information and fingerprints at a point in time. A Saved Record is not a backup of file contents.
What is a Saved Record?
A Saved Record documents the checked state of a folder at a point in time. It stores the information BatchPass needs for later verification and comparison workflows.
Profile = defines what should be checked.
Saved Record = documents what was actually present when the folder was checked.
Saved Records are used by Verify Folder and Compare Versions.
How to verify a folder
Verify Folder answers the question: “Does this folder still match the version I recorded earlier?”
1
Create a Saved Record: Run Check Folder on the original folder and use Save Record when the folder is in the known state you want to preserve.
2
Open Verify Folder in the BatchPass main menu.
3
Select the current folder: Choose the folder you want to verify.
4
Select the Saved Record: Choose the Saved Record created from the earlier checked state.
5
Run verification: BatchPass compares the current folder with the Saved Record using file paths and SHA-256 file fingerprints.
6
Review the result:
BatchPass can identify:
-
Matched — the expected file is present and its fingerprint matches the Saved Record.
-
Missing — a previously recorded file is no longer present.
-
Unexpected — a file exists now that was not in the Saved Record.
-
Modified — the file is present, but its contents no longer match the saved fingerprint.
NOTE: Verify Folder checks whether the current folder matches the selected Saved Record. It does not establish legal authenticity or authorship.
How to compare two live folders
Compare Two Live Folders shows what differs between the current contents of Folder A and Folder B. No previously created Saved Records are required.
1
Open the comparison area and choose the live-folder comparison controls.
2
Select Folder A as the baseline.
3
Select Folder B as the folder to compare against it.
4
Run the comparison.
Review Added, Removed, Modified, and Unchanged files, any possible rename or move candidates, and coverage notes.
5
Save the comparison CSV if you need documentation.
6
Added: Present in Folder B but absent from Folder A.
Removed: Present in Folder A but absent from Folder B.
Modified: Present at the same relative path, with different content fingerprints.
Unchanged: Matching file information and content fingerprints.
Possible rename or move candidate: Matching fingerprints and sizes suggest a relationship between an added and removed file. This does not prove a rename or move occurred.
NOTE: Direction matters: Added means present in Folder B but absent from Folder A. Removed means present in Folder A but absent from Folder B.
Common BatchPass workflows
Website client delivery
Check the website delivery folder against a Profile, review any issues, and save a Record when ready.
Photo delivery
Use or customize a Photo Delivery Profile to check the delivery folder against the requirements that matter for your image workflow.
Numbered document delivery
Check a numbered file set for missing sequence numbers before delivery.
Repeated client delivery
Use a specific client Profile for monthly or weekly deliveries to ensure the standards don’t change when the folder does.
Archive verification
Run Verify Folder against an old Saved Record to see whether archived project files have been lost or modified.
Versioned delivery
Run Compare Versions between two saved states to see what changed in the folder between Version A and Version B.
Troubleshooting
TavrendoPass says 'Folder not found'?
Ensure the folder hasn't been moved, renamed, or deleted after you selected it in TavrendoPass .
Why is a file reporting FAIL for 'Empty File'?
TavrendoPass detected a file with 0 bytes. Check if the file was saved correctly or if it was supposed to contain data.
My folder failed even though it looks correct
A failure means the folder does not meet a mandatory rule in the active Profile. Review the Issues list in the BatchPass results window to see precisely which rule was triggered (e.g., unexpected hidden files, incorrect file extension, or extra subfolders).
A Starter Template gives too many failures
Starter Templates are general examples. If a template is too strict for your specific needs, select Edit Profile, disable the rules that do not apply to your workflow, and save as a new custom Profile.
Verify Folder says Modified/Unexpected/Missing
This means the current folder no longer matches the Saved Record. Verify Folder identifies changes that occurred after the record was made. Review the verification report to decide if these changes were intentional or errors.
Compare Versions looks backwards
Select the Earlier Version Saved Record first and the Newer Version Saved Record second. Reversing them reverses the direction of Added and Removed results.
I selected the wrong Profile
Return to Check Folder, choose the correct Profile, and run a fresh check.
I changed files after getting PASS
Run the check again. The previous result describes the checks applied at that time, not the folder after your changes.
I cannot find my custom Profile
Open Profiles and review your saved Profiles. Custom Profiles are separate from bundled sample Profiles and Starter Templates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BatchPass upload my files?
No. TavrendoPass is local-first. Folder checks run against files on your system, protecting your privacy.
What is a Saved Record?
A Saved Record documents the checked state of a folder at a point in time. It stores the information BatchPass needs for later verification and comparison workflows.
Can I customize Profiles?
Yes. You can edit required files, extensions, counts, and other rules in the Profile Editor to turn your real delivery requirements into repeatable BatchPass checks.
What is a Profile?
A Profile is a collection of reusable rules that define what should be checked in your delivery folder, such as naming conventions, file types, and structure.
What is a Starter Template?
Starter Templates provide editable starting points for common delivery workflows, helping you get up and running without building a Profile from scratch.
Does PASS mean my documents are correct?
A PASS result means the folder meets the requirements of the active Profile. It does not verify the creative quality or legal accuracy of your document content.
Does BatchPass read or understand the meaning of my documents?
TavrendoPass reads file data when calculating SHA-256 fingerprints, but it does not interpret document meaning, creative quality, or business correctness. It does not provide page-by-page, paragraph-by-paragraph, or cell-by-cell comparisons.
Is BatchPass antivirus software?
No. TavrendoPass is a delivery verification tool. It identifies whether your folder matches rules, not whether it contains malicious code.
What happens if I modify a file after getting PASS?
The PASS status belongs only to the moment it was granted. If you change any file, you must run TavrendoPass again to ensure the folder is still compliant.
What is the difference between a Profile and a Saved Record?
A Profile defines what should be in a folder (requirements). A Saved Record documents what was actually present at a specific point in time (evidence).
Why save a Record if I already saved a CSV?
The CSV is a summary for people to read. The Saved Record is a snapshot that allows TavrendoPass to perform verification audits later.
Can BatchPass compare folder versions?
Yes. Compare Saved Versions compares an Earlier Version Saved Record with a Newer Version Saved Record so you can review recorded file changes and available comparison evidence.
Can BatchPass tell whether a file was renamed?
TavrendoPass can suggest possible rename or move candidates when matching SHA-256 fingerprints and file sizes support that inference. A candidate does not prove that a rename or move actually occurred, and the underlying Added and Removed entries remain visible.
Does Verify Folder prove legal authenticity?
No. Verify Folder confirms technical consistency with a previous state. It is not an alternative to legal authenticity or digital signature standards.
Should I use the same Profile for every client?
You can reuse the same Profile when requirements are the same. Create or customize a separate Profile when a client’s requirements differ
Does BatchPass change my files?
Ordinary audits are read-only. TavrendoPass does not silently delete, rename, move, or overwrite source files during a check.
