Each report has a sign to determine if it is considered to be an error, neutral or positive, and a weight to determine the impact. Only reports with a negative sign contribute toward the health scores.
These signs and weights can be customized for each project, allowing you to prevent certain reports from being shown as errors and from contributing to the health score by changing the sign from negative to neutral or positive. Alternatively, you can adjust the weight of the reports so they have a smaller impact on the health scores, and appear lower in the prioritized list of errors.
You can access these settings in Step 4 of the crawl setup. You can view a step-by-step guide here, or read on for written instructions and screenshots.
