If violations are found, the DRC window opens, as shown in the following figure. The DRC window shows the rule violations, grouped under the various rule categories defined in the Report DRC dialog box. The rule violations are also categorized by severity and are color coded for quick review as follows:

Advisory
Provides general status and feedback on design processing.
Warning
Indicates that design results might be sub-optimal, because constraints or specifications might not be applied as intended.
Critical warning
Indicates that certain user input or constraints will not be applied or do not adhere to best practices. Xilinx highly recommends that you examine these issues and make changes.
Note: Critical warnings are promoted to errors during bitstream generation.
Error
Indicates an issue that renders design results unusable and cannot be resolved without your intervention. The design flow stops.
Tip: You can toggle the Hide Warnings and Informational Messages toolbar button to turn off warnings and informational messages to see only the errors reported.
