Tests Panel

The expandable Tests panel enables you to manage your clash tests and results, and can be displayed from all Clash Detective tabs by clicking the expand button. It shows all of the clash tests currently set up, listed in a table format, and a summary of the status of all clash tests.

Note: If no tests have been defined then the Add Test and the Import Clash Tests buttons will be displayed at the top of the Clash Detective window.

When you click a test in the Tests panel the relevant details for that test will be displayed on the different Clash Detective tabs. You can use the scroll bars at the right and at the bottom of the tab to move through the clash tests.

Note: A summary of the currently selected clash test is always displayed at the top of the Clash Detective window. The total number of clashes in the test is displayed with details of open (New, Active, Reviewed) and closed (Approved, Resolved) clashes. If a clash test has been altered in some way since being set up (this might include changing an option, or having loaded the latest revision of the model) that will mean that the results may not reflect the latest model or settings, then a warning will be displayed . Right-clicking on this icon enables you to rerun the test.

Sort and Filter Clash Tests

You can sort and filter the list of clash tests, and manage the columns that are displayed as needed.

1. Click the Filter icon at the top of a column to display the sort and filter options.

   

   The options displayed will depend on the type of data in the selected column, and include text, number, and date filters.

2. Use the sort options to reorder the data in the column, either alphabetically or based on date.

   Tip: You can also right-click a column and sort the contents into ascending or descending order.

3. Search for specific clash tests, or use the available filters. For example, the text filters are as follows:

   

   1. Select a function from the drop-down list to specify how you want the clash tests to be filtered in relation to your text entry or selection. For example, Equals, Begins with, or Contains.
   2. Enter text in the field, or use the drop-down list to choose a clash test.
   3. Specify whether the clash tests should match the case you entered the text in.
   4. Select And or Or to add a second set of filters.

4. To choose which columns to display in the Tests panel, right-click on any column heading, click Choose Columns, and then use the check boxes to select and deselect columns.
