The dialog is used to display calculation element references. You can release or open the references in the dialog.

Note

It allows you to view where calculation elements from Data Administration or a project are used. When opening this dialog from Data Administration, the "Show active alternatives only" and "Search all projects" checkboxes are not available. References in a different project are always displayed.

  • "Show active alternatives only" checkbox:

    Activating this checkbox restricts the view to references located in active alternatives.

  • "Search all projects" checkbox:

    Activating this checkbox shows all references in all projects. When this checkbox is deactivated, only the references in the project for the selected calculation element are shown.

  • Release Reference Copy button:

    Clicking this button completely releases all of the references between the calculation elements.

  • Filter project type combobox:

    The combobox allows you to filter for the selected project type.

WARNING

Once released, references cannot be restored.

Note

Double-clicking a reference in the project structure tree of the dialog enables FACTON to highlight this reference in the structure of the open project.

If the reference is located in a closed project, FACTON opens this project and highlights the reference.

Note

If the calculation element is located in an inactive variant of a calculation element, the variant is activated following a security prompt.

This may change your calculation.
