Batch grid parameter status colors and messages

Cells in the batch grid have colors that inform you of status, as described in the table below. The colors correspond to the icon colors found on the tool's dialog box.

When you enter values in the batch grid, no error checking occurs, and all cells are white. To check for errors or warnings, click the Check Values button Check Mark. If there are any issues, the color of the cells will change.

If you pause the pointer on a colored cell, you'll get a ToolTip explaining any issues with the parameter.
