Perform a where-used search

You can search a structure context or collaboration context to identify where an item selected in the structure hierarchy is used.

A where-used search must take into account the revision rule when searching the structures. You can choose to search for:

• All revisionsReports all item revisions that have an occurrence of the source item revision. This displays all possible combinations of usage that could possibly occur; depending on the revision rules, not all paths may be realized.

• Only the configured revisionYou select a revision rule to apply. The search result is filtered to include only those revisions that are configured by the selected revision rule. This rule is applied at each level of the structure, up to and including the top level. Any intermediate level nonconfigured revisions referenced by precise occurrences are also displayed.
