Filtering Messages - 2021.2 English

You can filter messages by severity.

To enable or disable the display of a specific message type:

1. Go to the Messages window.
2. Select (to enable) or deselect (to disable) the check box next to a message severity in the window header.

You can change the severity of a specific message ID. For example, you can decrease the severity of a message you do not believe is critical, or increase the severity of a message you think demands more attention.

To increase or decrease the severity of a message, use the set_msg_config Tcl command. For example:

set_msg_config -id "[Common 17-81]" -new_severity "CRITICAL WARNING"

For more information on the set_msg_config Tcl command, see this link in the Vivado Design Suite Tcl Command Reference Guide (UG835).
