Show whether a line item is used in an action

clarissa

I'd like ability to see, in blueprint mode for a module, whether a line item is used in an action. This, along with an existing Idea requesting to see if a line item is used as a filter for a Saved View, would significantly speed up model clean-up time

This would be useful also to check the action after changing the name of a line item, as the action does not seem to be always updated for the mapping.

Second this.

Today we have in the Module list a TAB named Line Items and in Blueprint mode at end of display a column called 'Referenced by' which only lists another module + line item.

What is needed is on the model line items tab and in blueprint mode additional columns of Referenced by View, Referenced by Action (such as used in import export spec either as source or target or used in a delete action, etc).

This would enhance ability to delete unused items freeing space.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! To help understand the needs better, please could you provide a bit more detail about the kind of information you're looking for.

When it comes to seeing which modules or line items are linked to specific actions, what details would be most valuable for you? For instance, would it be helpful to know simply if a module or line item is connected to an action, or would you want deeper insights—like the type of action, whether the module or line item is used as a target or source, or whether the action was generated in ADO or directly within the model? Any additional details on what would make this information actionable for you would be very helpful!

Hi Beccad,

Thank you for following up on this point.

We should have this information at the line item level, as at the module level, it won't be enough.

In priority, it would be good to have the list of imports in which this line item is used as a source, including for other models. So we know which imports must be updated if we change the name.

But it would also be useful to have the list of imports in which this line item is used as a target. So we know from where the value is coming. We don't use ADO yet, but it would also be useful to know if it was coming from ADO and also CloudWorks.

Finally, it would be useful to know in which exports the line item is used. As we will need to update the mapping, if it is used in a CloudWorks or Informatica Cloud integration...

Thanks,
