Integrity - Field of Type "Phase" relationship

[traker99]

Hello everybody,

i have question regarding the field type "phase".We use a (custom) phase field to organize one of our workflows (Workflows and Documents->Types->"NameOfType"->Attributes->Phase Field).

For the future we like to deactivate the phase field from the corresponding workflow. Unfortunaly this field is a legency holdover of better times 🙂 and we do not have clear information about it.

At the moment we do not know if there is any relationship to aspects of the system like triggers or other important parts.

Is there a way to find out any related relationship regarding the usage of this phase field in the system? We need to be sure that there are no side after deactivation (not removal).

Currently we are using Integrity 10.8.

Thanks for any answer which may provide some clearification

You should be able to get the references using the command

im fields --fields=references "Phase Field"

Here's an example output:

Thank you awalsh for the answer!

As i see its the same informationen as provided in the corresponding Client view "Reference" of the selected item. Is this the only posibility to check any references? How about triggers (besides searching in them)?

thanks again!

[awalsh]

Yes, you are right it's the same information.
It is the only way to check references.
For triggers, it will show if the field is used in a rule, but not if it's referenced in a parameter or in the script.
