## Issues pane

Use this pane to view policy validation issues.

Right-clicking an issue row provides these menu options:

- Show Rule — Highlights affected rule in the rule table.
- Ignore issue type for the rule — This issue type is no longer checked for this rule. A green check mark in the rule’s ID cell in the rule table shows that the rule’s Validation Settings are not the same as the policy’s Validation Settings.
- Disable all issues for the rule — The rule is no longer checked when you validate the policy. A green check mark in the rule’s ID cell in the rule table shows that the rule’s Validation Settings are not the same as the policy’s Validation Settings.
