When viewing a data entry or batch application's logic, you can select Edit -> Symbol Analysis to view information about where each dictionary symbol, form symbol, and user-defined function is used in an application.
The analysis window shows a list of symbols used in logic, including:
- Dictionary symbols: dictionaries, records, items, and value sets
- Form symbols: forms, rosters, and blocks
- Other symbols: user-defined functions
After selecting a symbol, uses of that symbol are shown along with the line of logic where it is used. You can click on each use and a larger area of logic—not just the single line—will be shown.
Symbol Analysis can be used to quickly see where and how symbols are used throughout your application.
