• Warning. Yellow icon with an exclamation mark.
• Error. Red icon with a minus sign. This error can cause a problem in Siebel CRM at run time.

Enforce Column

Indicates if Siebel Tools enforces the rule. A Yes value validates all objects of the object type that the Object column identifies.

• Enforce
• Ignore
• Enforce All
• Ignore All

Save Button

Enforce Button

Modifies the value in the Enforce column in the row that you choose from No to Yes.

Ignore Button

Modifies the value in the Enforce column in the row that you choose from Yes to No.

Enforce All Button

Modifies all values in the Enforce column to Yes.

Details Text Box

Last Validated Option

If this check box includes a check mark, then Siebel Tools only validates objects that Siebel CRM modified since the date you enter in the Last Validated window.

Custom Option

If this check box includes a check mark, then Siebel Tools only validates the objects that Siebel CRM modified according to the date range that you enter in the date and time fields that Siebel Tools displays next to the Custom option.

Do Not Report Warnings Option

If this check box includes a check mark, then Siebel Tools only reports errors. It does not report warnings. It also modifies the value in the Enforced column of all warning rules to No.

Abort Validation Option

If this check box includes a check mark, and if you enter a number in the window that Siebel Tools displays to the right of the option, then it stops validating after it reaches the number of errors you specify.

If Siebel Tools identifies the number of errors that you specify in this window, then it stops validating the object and displays the Error dialog box.
