Analyzer Summary Window Pane

The Analyzer Summary window pane displays current issues for the project that you are analyzing. Issues might be critical problems (e.g., broken links) or simply information that can be used for improving the project (e.g., new style suggestions). After Analyzer finishes scanning your project and displays the current issues, you can double-click on a row to the open the appropriate window pane and take action. See Viewing Current Issues.

Here is an example of some current issues listed in the Analyzer Summary window pane.

In addition to viewing and taking action on current issues, there are several reporting and other features in Analyzer. See Key Features.

Last Scan Date	Displays the most recent date and time that Analyzer scanned your project (either when you last opened the project in Analyzer or when you manually performed a scan by clicking in the local toolbar).
Status	Displays the status of a scan on your project (e.g., "Scanning," "Up-To-Date").
Summary	This section displays any current issues that Analyzer has found after scanning your project. From the Analyzer Summary window pane, you can double-click any of the issue rows. Doing this opens the appropriate window pane in the interface so that you can see more information about the reported issues and take action (e.g., fix broken links). Category Displays the group into which the issue fits. For example, if there is a broken link, the category is "Link." If Analyzer is suggesting that you create a snippet from specific content, the category is "Suggestion." Issue Displays the exact kind of issue found. Count Displays the number of places where the issue is found. Status Displays the status of the issue. In other words, a cell may display "Loading…" if Analyzer is still scanning for the issue.
