Checking rules

The Check Rules facility checks for:

Bad property values (wrong type of value).

References to nonexistent data properties.

Conditions that do not currently apply to any object in the data, indicating rules that may be useless. (However, such rules may be useful with a different data set and so do not always constitute an error.)

The result of the check appears as a series of messages in the Messages panel, see Messages for troubleshooting. Note that messages of all levels are displayed, regardless of the filter level set in the Messages panel.

To check your rules:

Choose either of the following options:

Click Edit > Check Rules.

Click the Check Rules button in the Messages panel.
