An important functionality for maintaining rules is the ability to perform a where-used analysis. This allows you to quickly find all the rules in which a specific parameter, value, or attribute participates

Where-used analysis for parameters and values

The where-used analysis from parameters and values toward rules tracks both direct references and references within expressions.

For example, if a disallowed combination rule is configured to disable specific lookup values, the rule contains direct references to both the lookup parameter and the disallowed lookup values. Conversely, if a parameter is part of a formula used to set another parameter within an assignment expression rule, this is tracked as a reference within an expression.

Regardless of the reference type a parameter or value has within your rules, you can perform a complete where-used analysis by right-clicking the parameter or value and selecting Links > Rules.

If you only want to find expression-based references from rules, right-click the parameter or value and select Links > Part of expressions > Rules.

Where-used analysis for attributes and dictionaries

Attributes, attribute values, dictionaries, and data selectors can only be referenced by rules through expressions.

To perform a where-used analysis for these elements, right-click the object and select Links > Part of expressions > Rules.
