Creating Waivers from the GUI - 2025.2 English - UG906

You can create waivers directly from any Report DRC, Report Methodology, or Report CDC GUI result window.

Use the following instructions to create a waiver from a report window:

1. Select one or more violations in the result window.
2. Right-click and select Create Waiver to open the create waiver creation widget.
   
   
3. Fill out the form.
   
   

   User

   The Vivado tools auto-fill this field, but you can edit it.

   Description

   This field is mandatory. Provide clear, detailed information for review by the design team.

   Tags

   Use this field to add a string or list of keywords. Tags help with documentation and make it easier to search the XDC file or filter waivers using the get_waivers command.

4. Submit the form. After you submit the form, Vivado sends one create_waiver command to the Tcl Console for each selected violation.
   Note: When waivers are created for DRC and methodology violations, the Tcl command create_waiver generated by the GUI references the violation object, but only as transitional form. The waiver engine then converts this into a fully descriptive waiver that includes all the related design objects. The final waiver does not rely on the original violation object. A timestamp is automatically added when the waiver is created.
5. Verify waiver creation by observing the following indicators:
   • The selected rows in the report are grayed out and disabled.
   • The report becomes stale, indicating waivers were applied.
   • After re-running the report, waived violations are filtered out.
