Showing Asset References and Dependencies
When you choose to show the related assets of an asset, they are displayed in the Search view:
* References are the assets that are used by (referred to by) the selected asset.
* Dependencies are the assets that use (depend on) the selected asset.
Note:
If you have workspace indexing disabled now or had it disabled in the past, you might have assets in your workspace that have missing or incomplete metadata. In this case, Designer might not show all references or dependencies. See Enabling or Disabling Workspace Indexing.
*To show the references or dependencies of an asset
1. In the Solutions or Search view, right-click the asset you want to work with.
2. Click Show References or Show Dependencies and then click:
* In CentraSite to show referenced or dependent assets (based on your selection) found in CentraSite.
* In Workspace to show referenced or dependent assets (based on your selection) found in the workspace index.
Note:
The related asset information for the same asset might be different in the workspace index than in CentraSite. The latest changes to the asset reflected in the workspace index may not have been published to CentraSite, or the version in the workspace index may not have been updated with the latest changes reflected in CentraSite.
3. Designer displays referenced or dependent assets (based on your selection) in the Search view.
Note:
Only direct references and direct dependencies (based on your selection) are shown. For example, A references B and B references C. If you choose to view the references of A, only B is shown. Likewise, A has dependency B and B has dependency C. If you choose to view the dependencies of A, only B is shown.
