Use

The system checks the format tree to prevent inconsistent data from being used when a file is generated or converted. You can execute a check manually at any time in the format-defining process. In addition, the system performs a check automatically when you activate your format tree.

Activities

  • Syntax check

  • Consistency check (such as reference to node attributes)

  • Correct level distribution

  • Check for completeness

If the check generates error or warning messages, the system displays a log. The log indicates the type of message (red for error, yellow for warning, green for information) and a short text. The text of an error message – which must be corrected in order to activate a format tree – is additionally highlighted in yellow. If a long text is available for the message, you can display it by choosing  ( ) .

After a log has been generated, you can display it by choosing   Goto   Log   or  ( ) .
