Within Ideate Explorer on the Warnings tab, each Revit warning can be tagged with one of four possible rankings: Not Ranked, Low, Medium, or High. The rankings are displayed within Ideate Explorer in descending order of their rankings, with High being at the top and Not Ranked warnings being at the bottom.
Warnings that are tagged with the High ranking are considered the most important. If a project has any warnings tagged as High, a special alert icon will display at the top of Ideate Explorer to the right of the Display drop-down. If all the high-ranked warnings are being filtered or excluded by a text search this special icon will not display.
