How to override a rule error with a reason. A step-by-step walkthrough of the screens, buttons and fields involved.

The steps, written out

  1. Open the design Overview and the Checks & overrides tab.
  2. Find the red Error, type the reason (for example "engineer approved packing") in the box and press Override error.
  3. The error turns into Overridden and the name, date and reason are recorded in the audit trail.

Tip

To undo it press Remove override. A reason is required ("Give a reason for the override"). Overridden errors no longer block submitting, approving or issuing. Roles that can edit designs can override; the tab is visible to office roles.
