The Validation Results and Active Validation Results panels.
Opening the Validation Results panel
The Validation Results panel opens automatically after the validation has ended. How to start the validation >>
Since the active validation suites always check your model's correctness, you must open the Active Validation Results panel to see the results of active validation.

- Ignore
- Navigate to Validated Object
- Open Specification
- Go To
- Select Rule in The Containment Tree
All those commands are described in the table above.
