Finding where an InformationItem is conveyed?
« on: December 02, 2015, 08:27:17 am »
From an Information Flow you can "Find Items Conveyed", but from an InformationItem how do you find out if it is conveyed on an Information Flow?

The problem is I have created two of the same information items and I need to find where I have used them so I can remove one of them :-)

qwerty

You could take the SQL from p. 103 of my Inside book and tweak that. Instead of getting the conveyed items from the connector and list them you would look for the connectors that have a certain item and then list either their source or target. Using a script you could find diagrams that have both and such the connector inside. Tricky, but feasible.

I thought it might take a script.  It'll probably take me less time to eyeball all the connectors and change them manually in that case.
