Severity

Validation can have a severity level associated with it. Severity levels can range from 1 (most critical) to 99 (least critical).

The lower the severity, the more serious the error. For example, a severity level of 2 is more serious than a severity of 4.

Severity is specified as a Severity option (applicable for the Check and Select actions, displayed in the Properties window, Advanced tab). You can specify the level of severity that must be reached for an operation to fail. For example, if you specify the error severity as 4, all validations with severities less than or equal to 4 cause the operation to fail. All other errors appear as warning or information messages.
