  The values in the user interface are rounded to two decimal places. In the database, however, the values are stored to five decimal places. Therefore, a rounding error may cause a discrepancy in the flagged results, which are based on the values stored in the database. For example, if you choose to flag Distance to the Nearest Fault values between 1.00 and 60.00, a value of 0.99987 would not be flagged, nor would a value of 60.00123, even though the user interface would display these as 1.00 and 60.00.
