Step-by-step:

InfoWater Pro's Engineering Validation Manager—commonly referred to as just the Validation Manager—provides an efficient way to review input data for missing or unexpected values as well as connectivity issues. You can check all network components for up to 60 rules.

  1. Open the appropriate .aprx file in ArcGIS Pro.
  2. From the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, click Initialize.
    The InfoWater Pro tab of the ribbon with Initialize called out as being selected
  3. From the Model Explorer, Command Center tab, expand the Tools folder.
  4. Double-click Engineering Validation Manager.
    The Command Center tab of the Model Explorer, with the Engineering Validation Manager highlighted in the Tools folder
  5. In the Validation Manager, click Options.
  6. In the Options dialog box, enable Clear Previous Results Automatically.
  7. Click OK.
    The Options dialog box of the Engineering Validation Manager opened, with the Clear Previous Results Automatically option highlighted and enabled

In the Validation Manager, you can see several rows with rules, IDs, warning messages, levels, and valid value ranges. If you modify the criteria for multiple selected rows, then run a validation, you can then sort the results, based on warning levels, for example.
