Change the Run Name as chosen and select from the following options:
Target
- Select the first Target button to specify the entire layout is to be checked.
- Select the second Target button to specify that only selected objects can be checked.
- Click Choose Objects Currently Selected in Layout to select objects for this run; the run message updates to show the number of objects in this run.

Click OK to save your changes and close the window. Click Run DV to run the design verification. Alternately, you can run the design verification by opening the Project Tree and clicking the Run Name that resides beneath the corresponding Rule Set.
From the Project Tree, the rule set item now contains a run item. The current icon for the run has no color, which indicates the run has not been executed. Once executed the icon has color.
