Generating a Check Report

This task explains how to generate a check report after a solve operation has been carried out, to define the rule base settings and to apply a correction function to the check.
The data logged in the generated report as well as the report format depend on the rule base settings.

Before performing this task, you must have completed Launching a Check Correction Method.

Note that the generated check report will only be based on the selected rule base. To generate a report based on all the checks of the document, see Performing a Global Analysis of Checks.

Expand the specification tree, right-click the rule base object under Relations, and select Rulebase Object > Settings. The RuleBase Settings dialog box opens:

Refer to what follows to fill in the areas:

In the Output Format area of the window, check:

	`Html` to generate the report in html format.
	File to generate the report in text format. In this mode, the `Description Length` and the `Show results` options are activated by default.

In the Description Length area of the window, check:

	`Long` to insert the Help message specified at the check creation.
	`Short` if you do not need the Help message.

In the Visualization area of the window, check:

	`Passed`: to include in the report only information about the features for which the checks are valid
	`False`: to include in the report only information about the features for which the checks are invalid
	`Both`: to include in the report information about all the features on which a check has been applied.

In the Show Results area of the window, check:

	`By Rule` to organize your report data by rule in the file.
	`By Object` to organize your report data by object.
	`By Rule` State to organize your report data by rule state.

In the Others area of the window, check and/or select:

	`Traces` to display the steps of the solve process.
	`Automatic Complete` to perform an initialization and a solve operation on the objects within the Part context whenever the Part is updated. The RuleBase is not automatically solved in a non Part Context.
	`Automatic Optimized` to perform a new solve on the last changes.The RuleBase is not automatically solved in a non Part Context.
	`Manual Solve` to avoid an automatic initialization and a solve operation on the objects within the Part context. If you select this option you should click the icon.

Click OK to apply the settings to the rule base.
Click the icon to find out what holes are not activated. The html page displayed provides you with the ratio of the holes that fulfill the check. 75% of the holes are activated - Click the check name hyperlink to obtain details on the features satisfying or not satisfying the check. Note the Help message which is displayed in column 5 of the check report.
In the specification tree, right-click the check, select Correct Function and perform a Solve. The holes are activated and the part is updated. In the specification tree, the check icon is now green.

Unless you want to modify the check report characteristics, you do not have to re-specify the rule base settings each time you generate a report.
