Check for alerts or validation diagnostics

Two buttons in the Flowsheet group of the Home ribbon tab allow you to highlight assets according to these criteria:

• Click the Alerts button to show which assets have active alerts.

• Click the Validation button to show which assets have validation warnings or errors.

When either button is enabled, assets with alerts or validation issues change color as follows:

• Amber for alert or validation warnings.

• Red for alert or validation errors.

Click either button again to disable the corresponding asset highlighting.

Hover your mouse pointer over a highlighted asset to display a tooltip with the warning or error messages, together with additional information on the unit, such as input and output flows.

Note: Disabling the Validation option does not affect only the highlighting of units with warnings or errors on the flowsheet. With this option disabled, validation messages do not appear in the Validation diagnostics window, even when optimizing the case (although validation messages still appear in the Last Run window).
To show messages in the Validation diagnostics window again, either click the Refresh diagnostics icon () in the window itself or enable the Validation option on the flowsheet.
