Generating an Integrity Report

At any time during the development of your Wwise project, you can generate an integrity report. It is a good idea to generate the report prior to generating SoundBanks, or, if you are working with source control, before checking in major changes to a Work Unit.

To simplify looking for a specific type of issue, you can also filter the report by specifying the type of information that you want to generate. You can limit the report to display any or all of the following:

  • Audio files and sources

  • Hierarchies

  • References

  • Optimizations

After the report is generated, you can review each of the issues in the report and then double-click each one to carry out the suggested fix. For example, double-clicking a status message that states “No group assigned to the Switch Container” opens the Property Editor where you can assign a Switch or State Group to the Switch Container.

To generate an integrity report:

  1. From the Wwise menu bar, click Views > Integrity Report.

    The Integrity Report opens.

  2. To define which platform issues to include in the Integrity Report, select one or more of your project's platforms, as defined in the Platform Manager, from the Platforms group box.

  3. To define which project language issues to include in the Integrity Report, in the Languages group box, select the Languages option and choose the appropriate languages.

  4. To filter for project issue types, select one or more of the following:

    Audio files and sources

    Hierarchies

    Broken References

    Optimizations

  5. Click Generate.

    A progress bar displays the status of the generation process.

  6. When Wwise is finished generating the integrity report, click Close.

    The Integrity Report- Completed dialog box closes and the Integrity Report is displayed.

    [Note] Note

    When you close the Integrity Report dialog box, the information is not saved. Make sure to save the report if you plan to view the information at another time. For information about how to save an integrity report, refer to Saving an Integrity Report.

  7. Double-click the issue to open the corresponding dialog box where you can fix or modify its issue status.

Integrity Report Issues

The following table lists the possible issues detected, and how you can correct these project issues.
