Check your Repository
You need to verify that the repository created automatically during the VE installation can handle your volume of code. If not, we will guide you to create the proper Repository:
- Do you see the default screen with the number of objects analyzed?
- Check the status of your code analysis:
  Open Visual Expert and go to [Code analysis - Manage analysis]
  
  Is the "status" of your code analysis "completed"?
  
  If the analysis was not properly completed, read this article to create a new Repository that will support your volume of code.
