Displaying Field Usage

Use the Usage command, accessed by right-clicking in the Fields list box on any of the sheets of the Catalog of Available Fields dialog, to check on the usage of the currently selected item in the current report.

This command is available on each of the sheets of the Catalog of Available Fields dialog, to enable you to check on the usage of database fields, parameter fields, script fields, and summary fields. On the System sheet, it can be applied only to database fields and not to special fields or literal fields.

To display the usage of the currently selected field

Select a report field from the list box on one of the sheets of the Catalog of Available Fields dialog. Right-click on the selected field. A popup menu, shown in the following image, is then displayed.
Select the Usage command.

The Where Used dialog, shown in the following image, is then displayed.

If the selected field is not used in the current report, the list box is empty.
To delete a field used in a report layout, if required, select the item usage.

The Delete button is then enabled. Click the Delete button. The usage is deleted from the list box and the corresponding field is deleted from the report layout. This action is the same as selecting and deleting the field in the JADE Report Writer Designer application report layout.
When you have finished checking on the usage of the selected field, click the Close button to close the Where Used dialog.

The details displayed in the Where Used dialog depend on the type of field selected and how it is used in the current report.

The following table lists the ways in which you can use selected fields and the formats used to detail that usage when displayed in the Where Used dialog.
