Errors and Warnings messages help users detect invalid objects in their projects.

This feature may not be supported for all license types. Please contact your account manager to find out more.

Objects with known or potential issues are flagged in the Database Explorer and Forward Engineer screens. This way, duplicate naming or missing properties can be quickly spotted and fixed before deployment.

Note that these are purely informational, and they won't prevent generating DDL through Forward Engineering.

Viewing Errors and Warnings

Errors and Warnings can be reviewed from the Diagram, Database Explorer, and Forward Engineer screens.

Objects with potential issues will have a red dot displayed to the right of the object name.

Click on the dot to display the detailed error message.

Filtering and ordering Errors and Warnings

Sort and filter options are available when viewing Errors and Warnings in the project.

By default, the Errors and Warnings are sorted by type (Error or Warning). However, they can be sorted by any available columns by hovering on the column header and clicking it once to sort descending and twice for descending by alpha.

In relevant screens (Database Explorer and Forward Engineering), you can filter messages for specific objects by clicking the Errors and Warnings dot next to the object name.
