Opening the Validation Results panel

The Validation Results panel opens automatically after the validation has ended. How to start the validation >>

Since the active validation suites always check your model's correctness, you must open the Active Validation Results panel to see the results of active validation.

To open the Active Validation Results panel

On the status line, click the failure indicator (e.g. ).
If you cannot see the failure indicator on the status line, your model is correct according to active validation suites.

You can use the validation results area to:

Manage validation results
Sort validation results
Filter validation results

- Open Specification
- Go To
- Select Rule in The Containment Tree

All those commands are described in the table above.
