With the Conventions Table, you can select conventions that have to be met by your application.
The Conventions Table provides two parts:
oConventions (left-hand side)
List of the available conventions.
Refer to chapter Convention Queries Tab.
oResults window (right-hand side)
List of elements that do not meet the conventions selected on the left side.
The Conventions tree lists and groups convention rules that are available by default (by EcoStruxure Machine Expert installation) and the user-defined rules created with the Query editor. Use the check boxes to activate/deactivate convention rules.
After clicking the Enable and start querying button of the Results window toolbar, additional information is displayed in the Conventions tree:
