Error Situations in a Map
The map model is validated continuously while the map is edited. A problem is reported for a field in the following cases:
The Natural parser reports an error in the map source generated from the current model.
The map model itself flags the field as erroneous.
The field overlaps another field. Fields must not occupy the same character cells.
The Map Outline view indicates problems by coloring the icon and label of the affected node according to the severity. A badge identifies the type of problem (W for a warning, E for an error, and C for a critical error), making the problem recognizable independently of color. The node tooltip displays the problem message.
The Map Outline view propagates the severity to the parent nodes, so you can see an error even when the Fields node is collapsed. In addition, the Status category of the Map Properties view displays the error status of the selected element.
