<div class="id_taskbody"><p class="id_shortdesc">For a given project, you can override
the global validation preferences.</p>
<div class="id_context"> <p class="anchor_topictop" />
<p>The
default validation preferences are specified globally on the Validation page
of the Preferences dialog. To allow projects to override these default validation
preferences, complete the following steps:</p>
</div>
<ol class="id_steps">
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span>
</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">Validation</span> in the left pane.</span>
The Validation page of the Preferences window lists the validators
available in your project and their settings.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Allow projects to override these preference
settings</span> check box and click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span>
Now individual projects can override the global preferences.
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Right-click a project and then click <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span>.</span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the left pane of the Properties window, click <span class="uicontrol">Validation</span>.</span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Override validation preferences</span> check
box.</span> This check box is available only if you checked the <span class="uicontrol">Allow
projects to override these preference settings</span> check box on the
workbench validation preferences page.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>To prevent validation for this project, select the <span class="uicontrol">Suspend
all validators</span> check box.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the list of validators, select the check boxes next to each
validator you want to use.</span> Each validator has a check box to specify
whether it is used on manual validation or on a build.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose an alternate implementation for a validator by clicking
the button in the <span class="uicontrol">Settings</span> column, then click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span>
Not all validators have alternate implementations.</li>
