Understanding Validation Icons and Validation Data in the NSM User Interface
Table 9: Validation Status, Validation, and Data Origination Icons for ScreenOS Devices
Validation Status and
Icons Description
Validation Status
Error Indicates that a configuration or parameter is not configured correctly in the NSM UI. Updating a
device with this modeled configuration causes problems on the device. This is the highest priority
validation icon.
Warning Indicates that a configuration or parameter is not configured correctly in the NSM UI. Updating a
device with this modeled configuration might cause problems on the device.
Needs Validation Indicates that a configuration or parameter has not been validated. Although NSM automatically
validates all parameters when entered, this icon might appear for a template-driven value after you
have changed a template. We highly recommend that you validate all parameters before updating
a device.
Valid Indicates that a configuration or parameter is configured correctly in the NSM UI.
Validation and Data Origination Icons
Override Indicates that the displayed value was set manually and that the value overrides whatever value
might come from a template. The icon can also indicate an override of a VPN-provided value or a
cluster-provided value.
Template Value Indicates that the displayed value was set manually. Changes to the same field in the template will
be applied to the device when it is updated.
From Object Indicates that the displayed value came from the device when the device was imported. Changes
to a template will not change this value unless you selected Remove conflicted device values in
the template Operations dialog box. This is the lowest priority validation and data origination icon.

NSM Modules Overview on page 13
NSM uses automatic validation to help you identify the integrity of a configuration or
specific parameter at a glance. Validation and data origination icons show the user where
field data originates. These are implemented as additional types of validation messages
(beyond the current error and warning messages), including Template Value, Override,
and From Object messages. Each has its own icon and text color in the tool tips.Table 9
on page 21 lists the validation signs and validation and data origination icons that may
appear as you work in the UI.
From Object messages only appear when viewing template objects to help find fields
set in the template.
When more than one type of icon appears within a panel, the highest priority icon appears
next to the icon in the tree and the panel title bar.
