What happens when you ignore an error:

• The ignored error remains visible in the results list
• Ignored errors are excluded from blocking actions such as submit work, transfer to next step, task delivery, or job delivery
• Ignored errors are remembered for that specific segment and will stay ignored if you run QA check again
• Click More info to view the total count of ignored errors
