Output Window

This window is displayed whenever you validate a network. Validation is performed:

• when you choose the Validate network option from the Network menu
• automatically when mesh elevations for a 2D zone are resampled

The window lists any errors or warnings. These are identified by the following symbols:

	Error message
	Warning message
	Information message

Example of Output Window in InfoWorks ICM

For each error or warning, the Output window displays the following information:

Code	The error, warning or information message number
Priority	A priority level of 1 is set for an error. Priority level 2 is set for a warning. When carrying out Engineering Validation you can set priority levels of 3 or higher for each validity check.
Object Type	The type of the Network Object
Object	The unique name of the object causing the problem.
Field	The field where the value is invalid, missing or outside recommended ranges.
Scenario	The name of the Scenario to which the validation message applies.
Message	A description of the problem.

Any nodes containing errors are highlighted in the GeoPlan Window.

For more information about individual errors, see the Validation Messages and Engineering Validation topics.

Window operations

There are a number of options for viewing messages in the Output Window:

• Click the error or warning to highlight the corresponding network object on the GeoPlan Window.
• Double-click the error or warning you wish to investigate in more detail. The appropriate Grid Window is displayed, with the cursor on the relevant field. The appropriate property sheet is displayed in the Object Properties Window.
• Right-click an error or warning and select Go to Grid View or Go to Property Page from the popup menu to display the appropriate grid view or property sheet.
• With a network object grid window open, select Next error (F4) or Previous error (SHIFT-F4) from the Network menu to move between the errors and warnings in the Grid Windows. Alternatively, another error or warning can be selected when you double-click on another item in the Output window.
• Adjust the width of each column. Press the left mouse button down on the join between columns and then drag with the mouse.
• Click a column header to sort the validation messages in that column. To reverse the sort, click the column header again.

The Output Window is a dockable window. For details of what you can do with these very useful windows, see Using Dockable Windows.
