Showing Asset References and Dependencies
When you choose to show the related assets of an asset, they are displayed in the Search view:
*Asset References icon References are the assets that are used by (referred to by) the selected asset.
*Asset dependencies icon Dependencies are the assets that use (depend on) the selected asset.
Note:
If you have workspace indexing disabled, you might have assets in your workspace for which metadata does not exit or is incomplete. In this case, Designer might not show all references or dependencies.
*To show the references or dependencies of an asset
1. In the Solutions or Search view, right-click the asset for which you want to view references or dependencies.
2. Select Show References or Show References and then:
*Asset References icon In CentraSite to show assets found in CentraSite.
*Asset References icon In Workspace to show assets 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 dependencies 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.
