Checks

The checks are arranged by subject and node type. There are five different subject areas: Sections, Spills / Floodplains / Reservoirs, Structures, Boundaries and GIS /Floodmapping. Each of these is further broken down into sub-sections which are listed below.

It is possible to run all the selected checks by selecting the "Health Check" check box at the top of the list, individual checks by using the individual "Check" button next to the required test, or multiple checks, by selecting multiple check boxes. The Health Check will automatically generate a pre-formatted RTF (rich-text format) report that can be viewed in any text editor.

The following checks are arranged in the following subject and sub-sections.

1. Sections

   • General

   • Distance To Next vs Node Name
