Viewing Channel Errors

Error and Warning icons flag channels for quick identification of problems. The Errors column shows you how many errors and allows you to view error/warning details, administrators can also clear errors and warnings.

Error and warning icons

The error and warning icons in the Dashboard allow to immediately see when errors or warnings have occurred:

Icon	Meaning
	This icon indicates a warning, although the channel will continue to run.
	When this icon is red, an error has occurred and the channel will not run.

This is a great way to ensure that your milestones are up to date!

These icons also flag other kinds of errors:
