The Rules tab: specify which violations to show.

The rules are categorized by language and by level. Rules can be switched on and off per level or individually. If a rule has been switched off it is not shown anymore in the output window. Note that hidden violations are still detected and being used for statistical overviews. You can right-click on a rule for its documentation. The settings specified by the user are saved in the HIDDEN.txt file.
