    Access the Manage Warnings dialog as shown above from the main dialog of Ideate Explorer. This information pertains to the settings within the active Revit project file. 

    Share Warning Rankings 

    Use the Export and Import buttons shown on the image below at #1 to transfer warning rankings between projects. Importing a new rankings file will overwrite all current project rankings. The number of warnings displayed within Ideate Explorer within the Warnings tab is a function of the Revit project conditions. While only (3) warnings may display, for example, the export would include any that had been previously defined.

    Set alert level when Revit Warnings are exceeded

    Set Project Warnings Threshold

    A threshold for the allowed number of warnings per project can also be set from within the Manage dialog as shown above at #2. When the number of warnings in a project (excluding those hidden) exceeds the value of this threshold, a second alert (bomb icon) will display on the main dialog. The default value for this setting is managed in the Settings. When the value is edited here, that value becomes saved within the current project.

    Edit Rankings

    The complete list of defined warnings is displayed at #4 in the image above. To edit the rankings for one or more warning types:

    1. Use the search feature (#3) to quickly group similar warning types.
    2. Select one or more warning types from the list. You can use the Shift+ or Ctrl+ keys to multi-select these rows.
    3. Use your right-click button to edit the assigned ranking as shown above at #4.

    When changes are made to this list, the data is saved within the current project. When that occurs the warnings list is no longer pulled from the default location. If the goal is to make these updates a new standard then be sure to use the EXPORT button and save the data to the default location as specified under Settings.
