Design Intent Report
The progress of all the design intent implementation on a design can be checked at any point using a high level report generated from Schematics XL or Layout XL. The report provides a summary of the design intent within a design, reporting the implementation status of each design intent with the associated notes capturing the communication between the layout and schematic designers. It is useful to keep abreast of the latest design changes and to review the progress of the project as a whole.
The report displays the date and time the report was generated and is divided with a navigation pane on the left and a pane containing the report content on the right.
The Signed Off option is located on the Edit Design Intent form and is enabled only in Schematics XL for design intents with a status of complete 
or review 
. Selecting this option validates that the design intent has been implemented in Layout XL and confirms that the design goal has been satisfactorily achieved within the design.

Displays the Detail section at the top of the report pane. The Detail table summarizes the status of each design intent. All the columns are filterable and selecting any item on a row, displays that design intent at the top of the report pane. Each row includes the following information:
-
Type: A pictorial symbol for the design intent type.
-
Name: The name of each design intent.
