1. Navigation Options

When navigating to the tool, we would need to analyze flows and interdependence between objects. We have at least three ways that will be described below.

1.1 Dependency View

The dependency view is the more complete navigation option.

• You can use its "Search" function to find an object for which we know the name or the record ID.
• You can use the different display types to see all object properties and all possible links with other objects.

1.2 List

The list is the most dynamic navigation option: depending on the object you're analyzing, it will be the only way to get interdependences or it will give you only partial information.

1.3 Details

The Details is useful when you would like to see all information related to a record: it prevents to open the hierarchy. It synchronizes by clicking on the record.

2. Navigation by Object

2.1 Data field

For data fields, either Dependency View or List works: it depends what you want to analyze.

i. Dependency View for complete analysis

• Dependency: UoM and dimensions
• Utilization: related calculations and archives
• Owner: related data table
• Propriety: record ID
• Required: N/A
• Link Down: N/A
• Link Up: related calculations, archives, views, workspaces, mappings
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Owned: N/A
• Contained: N/A
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Linked Object Tool: action in sequence

ii. List for data flows only

The list option will help to visualize only related calculations:

• IN = the data field is an input in the calculation
• OUT = the data field is an output in the calculation

2.2 Calculation

For calculations, either Dependency View or List works: it depends what you want to analyze.

i. Dependency View for complete analysis

• Dependency: inputs and outputs, dimension
• Utilization: related model
• Owner: N/A
• Propriety: N/A
• Required: calculation rule
• Link Down: inputs and outputs
• Link Up: N/A
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Owned: N/A
• Contained: N/A
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Linked Object Tool: link to shortcuts or sequences

ii. List for data flows only

The list option will help to visualize only related data fields:

• IN_xx = the calculation is using the data field as source
• OUT_xx = the calculation is using the data fiels as target.

2.3 View

For Views, the only solution is Dependency View:

• Dependency: N/A
• Utilization: N/A
• Owner: linked model
• Propriety: N/A
• Required: linked dimensions, conditions, data fields, UoM and conversions
• Link Down: linked data fields, UoM and conversions
• Link Up: N/A
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Owned: N/A
• Contained: N/A
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Linked Object Tool: linked to Web Workspace and/or shortcuts

2.4 Archives

For Archives, the preferred solution is Dependency View:

• Dependency: N/A
• Utilization: N/A
• Owner: N/A
• Propriety: N/A
• Required: Dimension, related condition, linked data field, linked model
• Link Down: N/A
• Link Up: N/A
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Owned: N/A
• Contained: N/A
• ObjToLock: N/A
• Linked Object Tool: part of sequence

2.5 Master Table

For Master Table, the preferred solution is List: it would be possible to select and extract the whole list. It will give you all the related objects, classified by type.

2.6 Condition

For conditions, the preferred solution is List: it would be possible to select and extract the whole list. It will give you all the related objects, classified by type.
