Viewing resource relationships

Resources listed in the Resource view can be reused by other resources. For example, the same image can be placed on several different forms and inside a fragment.

While this improves the consistency and efficiency of the form design, it also creates dependencies between these assets. Thus, before you modify or delete a shared resource, you should check how this change will affect other resources. You can examine resource relationships in the Relationships dialog box.

The Relationships dialog box displays a table of all the resources that are referencing the selected resource. The table contains the following information for each resource:

Name: The path to the resource. This includes the file name of the resource.

Date: The date the latest revision was created.

Version: The current version of the resource.

Created By: The username of the user who originally created the resource.

Last Modified By: The username of the user who created the latest version of the resource.

In the Relationships dialog box, you can perform the following tasks:

Sort the list

In the Resources view, right-click the resource and select Relationships.

To open the form that is using the resource:
