View Object Dependencies

You can view object dependencies for an object in the

Object Dependencies

view. You can view dependencies for objects that you select from the

Object Explorer

view or for connections that you select from the

Connection Explorer

view.

You can perform the following tasks to view object dependencies:

View circular dependencies.: A circular dependency occurs when two objects depend on each other. For example object A depends on object B, which depends on object A. When the Developer tool encounters the second instance of the object in the object dependency tree, it does not display further instances of the object. Instead, the Developer tool adds a circle icon against the object to indicate that a circular dependency occurred.
View downstream or upstream dependencies.: View downstream dependencies to view the objects that depend on the selected object. The Developer tool displays downstream dependencies by default.
View upstream dependencies to view objects that the selected object is dependent on.
Filter object dependencies.: Filter object dependencies to narrow the list of dependent objects. You can choose to filter by types of objects or by projects. For example, you might want to see workflows that a particular object has an impact on. You can filter by object type and select workflows.
View object dependencies history.: View history for the last 10 object dependencies.
