Consolidate objects

You can consolidate objects and rules.

Consolidation combines objects at the definition level in one object, the master object, and reduces the number of database items. This process consolidates all individual object relationships to other objects, models, etc., into the object definition of the master object in a way that is methodically consistent.

Prerequisites

Warning

Consolidation cannot be undone. We recommend that you back up the database before consolidation.

Procedure

  1. Open the relevant database.
  2. On the Explorer tab, right-click the group you want to browse, and select Find Find.
  3. Specify the relevant search settings and start the search. You can search for objects with identical names or objects of a specific type, for example.
  4. Select the required objects, right-click in the selection and select Contents > Consolidate objects.

The Consolidation Wizard guides you through the relevant steps.

Using the Consolidate objects report, you can also consolidate objects with identical names automatically.
