TrackChanges Tables
Recent Changes
Track Changes provides a table that automatically logs changes within solutions, covering configuration adjustments, as well as the creation and deletion of solution objects. The table lists the configuration name, modification type, date and time, and the responsible user.
When starting the Designer, the Home page shows the recent changes in the solution, querying the contents of this table.
You can customize the persistence of those records at TrackChanges / Recent Changes.
Presents the list objects modified in the Solution Configuration. See Recent Changes.
Version Control
The data from the Version Control is automatically used by the platform to ensure consistency when connecting the Solution in execution (Runtime) in order to perform online changes.
The Designer UI under Runtime / Diagnostics compares the versions of your configuration files with the versions of all the tables in the solution in execution, allowing the online configuration to proceed or remain in offline configuration, showing which parts of the solution are out of date.
Presents the summary of all configuration tables and its version. See Version Control.
Cross-Reference
Cross-Reference provides a table to view and interact with the cross-referencing of all objects within the solution.
The contents of this table enables the Find Results Panel at the Designer main interface. See Designer (IDE Overview) / Find Results Panel.
Usually, it easier than to use the Find Results panel to presents the referenced elements of the selected object, rather than execution the search in this table.
Presents the list objects in use and its usage locations. See Cross-Reference.
Use Count
Presents the list objects in use, and the number of times it has been used. See Use Count.
Unused Objects
The Unused Objects page provides a table listing all unused objects in the solution. This view is not dynamic; it is updated when first loading and via the Refresh button.
Its purpose is to identify components that can be removed to enhance efficiency by eliminating unnecessary configurations.
Presents the list objects created but not used in the configuration. See Unused Objects.
Removing Unused Objects
Limitations, when its not safe to remove
This feature only shows the places where the object is being used directly, not those used by an indirect reference or string manipulation.
See TrackChanges / CrossReference for example of configuration using objects indirectly.
Only remove unused objects if you're sure they aren't used indirectly or by external applications.
