Working with Validation Messages

The Validation Results provides commands to help you work with messages. To use the commands, right-click a message or the message list and then select a command from the menu that opens.

The messages could include information and warnings that you can choose to ignore. The Dismiss command marks the message as dismissed. If the Dismissed check box is cleared, then dismissed messages are hidden. Otherwise, they are crossed out and a lighter shade so you can easily distinguish them from other messages.

The following table describes commands that are specific to the Validation Results; see Context Menu Options for Lists and Tables for a description of other commands in the menu.
