Using the Check Analysis Tool

The Global Analysis Tool is designed to manage Expert and Advisor checks wherever they may be located in the specification tree. It helps end-users understand the validation status of their designs and allows navigation by checks or violations and highlights failed components. The user can:

	Access information concerning failing items
	Gather information concerning objects and checks
	Perform automatic corrections if need be.

The Global Analysis tool can be accessed at the session level by clicking the icon in the toolbar. This icon provides the user with a simple Checks status:

	All the checks are updated and could be fired successfully.
	The checks need to be updated.
	All the checks are updated and at least one of them is incorrect.
