Verify a project

View Designer
 verifies a project automatically when downloading that project to the HMI device. Verify a project any time during project development. For example, verify a project if a controller is defined for that project. Invalid tags or expressions appear in the
Errors
 window.
View Designer
 identifies invalid expression syntax as an error. The expression does not work for the project when downloaded to the HMI device. Resolve errors before downloading a project to the HMI device.
An invalid tag reference shows as a warning. The project may work when downloading the project to an HMI device after fixing the tags in the controllers using
Logix Designer
. Resolving warnings is not required to download a project.
To verify a project
  1. On the
    Menu
     bar, click
    Project > Verify Project
    . The
    Verify Project
    dialog box opens and verification begins.
  2. If there are errors or warnings listed in the
    Errors
    window, double-click an entry to navigate to its source in the project, and make the necessary changes to resolve it.
  3. Repeat the verification process until there are no errors or warnings listed in the
    Errors
    window. The list updates each time the verification process runs for the project.
