Perform Compliance Check in Web Viewer

The Compliance Check tool in the Web Viewer allows you to validate artwork elements against predefined compliance profiles. It highlights whether required elements are present in the artwork and shows compliance results based on the configured validation rules.

How to Perform a Compliance Check

01. Access the Compliance Check Tool

1. Sign in to your ManageArtworks account.
2. Open the required artwork file in the Web Viewer.
3. Select the Compliance Check tool from the toolbar.

Note: The Compliance Check tool is available only when opening artwork from Workflow or Asset Library module. It is not available when accessing files through the Proofing module.

02. Select Compliance Check

1. Select a compliance profile from the Compliance Profile drop-down list.
   Note: If the required profile is not listed, ensure it is available in Compliance Profile settings.
2. The system displays all elements configured in the selected profile.
3. Review the element status using color indicators:
   • Red filled circle – Element is not present in the artwork
   • Green filled circle – Element is present in the artwork

03.  Manually Mark Missing Elements (If Needed)

If an element is detected as “not available” even though it exists in the artwork, you can manually specify its region:

1. Select the Mark Region icon for the element.
   
   
    
2. Draw a bounding box around the element in the artwork.
3. Select the Submit icon to confirm. The element status updates to indicate manual mapping.
   
   
    
4. Select Update Copy to confirm the element.
5. The element status changes from red filled circle to green filled circle.

04. Include or Exclude Elements in the Compliance Check

You can control which elements are included in the compliance check during the current session.

1. To exclude an element temporarily:
   • Clear the checkbox associated with the element.
   • To include the element again, select the checkbox.
2. To remove an element completely from the current session:
   • Select the delete icon associated with the element.
     Note: This removes the element only for the current session. It does not update the compliance profile.
3. To view assigned validation rules:
   • Expand the element using the expand icon for the element.

05. Specify the Principal Display Panel (PDP) Area

1. Select Draw PDP Area.
   
   
    
2. Draw the PDP area directly on the artwork.
3. Select Compute.

   Note: The computed PDP area cannot be modified.
5. For more information, refer to the PDP section.

1. Select Check Compliance.
2. The system validates all elements against the rules defined in the selected Compliance Profile.
3. Results are displayed with color-coded indicators for quick review.
