Searching references to a specific data element

A data element can be referenced by many keyed collections, indexed collections, or CHA contexts. The CHA Editor provides a way to help you find all the references to a specific data element quickly.

To search for the keyed collections, indexed collections, and CHA contexts that reference a specific data element, do the following:

  1. In the CHA Data view or CHA Type view, right-click the data element.
  2. From the menu that pops up, select Search for References.
  3. The keyed collections, indexed collections, and CHA contexts that reference the data element are displayed in the Search view.
Note: This function only shows the keyed collections, indexed collections, and CHA contexts that directly reference a data element in the Search view. For example, if a data element is referenced by a keyed collection, and the keyed collection is then referenced by a CHA context, the CHA context will not be displayed in the Search view since it does not directly reference that data element.
