4.9. Report Design Assistant (Sign-off)

The Report Design Assistant (Signoff) option imports the Design Assistant reports generated at the Timing Analysis (Signoff) stage of each project's compilation. This import allows you to view each Design Assistant rule description, recommendations, and violations in a unified interface for easy aggregation of the reports.
Figure 62. Design Assistant Summary


Each design rule check (DRC) has a row that includes the following analyzed results:

  • Total Violations—the total number of violations of the DRC summed across all projects in the analyzed group.
  • Min Violations—the minimum number of violations of this DRC observed in a single project in the analyzed group.
  • Max Violations—the maximum number of violations of this DRC observed in a single project in the analyzed group.
Note: For more detailed insights on each report type, please refer to the corresponding subsection in section 2.5, Timing Report Descriptions, of the Quartus Prime Pro Edition User Guide: Timing Analyzer.
