Table 28 describes each user interface element of the Rules area of the Validation Options dialog box. The repository Validator should be used only in conjunction with the Time Filter, to avoid validating objects that are not being used.

Table 28. User Interface Elements of the Rules Area of the Validation Options Dialog Box

Severity column	An icon appears in this list column for each rule. It indicates whether the rule generates a warning (yellow icon with an exclamation point) or an error (red icon with a minus sign).
Rule column	The integer value that identifies this rule.
Object columns	Either the single object type that this rule applies to, or All.
Description column	The description of the rule.
Enforce	A Yes or No value for each rule. Yes validates all objects of the object type identified in the Object column. Yes/No values in this list column are changed using the Enforce, Ignore, Enforce All, and Ignore All buttons.

Ignore button	Changes the Enforce column value in the selected row from Yes to No.
