In order to clean a project, sometimes we require to go to each eSpace, each action and check if there is any usage of, for instance, comment comment element.

It would save a lot of time if we could list all of the usages of Advanced Queries, Comments, Aggregates and so on.

Thanks!

It would be nice if we could have a search/find with more advanced options that allowed you to restrict the search by tool in order, for example, to search for all the advanced queries in a module.

Hi Miguel,

Would this be something like this idea? https://www.outsystems.com/ideas/2799/find-usages-of-design-elements

Can I merge both of the ideas (it will merge the comments and add the likes ;)

Cheers

Hi Vasco,

Yes, you can merge both the ideas.

Thanks

I would like to be able to detect all usages (within a moduler or, even better, within an application) of a component. In my case (here), I had a large application and I needed to revisit every action/screen where the Download component and the Upload widgets were being used.

Hi mariap,

This is similar to this idea right? https://www.outsystems.com/ideas/2799/find-usages-of-design-elements

Can I merge both of them?

Cheers

Possibility of finding all uses for a widget, can save a good working time.

I can understand you would want to find all uploads on your application... but why do you need to find all switches?

On the other hand, it *could* be useful to find all advanced-sql and review them if they still need to be adv. sql

I merged three similar Ideas.

Like this one!

A workaround that in the past I used, specially for Advanced Queries elements (now SQL elements), was to include a tag, for example "#aq", in the Description of the Advanced Query so that later I could search for that tag with the normal search (CTRL + F).

It should be possible to find usages of native elements like Exceptions raisers, handlers, links etc

Find Usages it's one of the most important feature for me in OutSystems.

Sometimes the result list of all usages it's too huge.

It would be great if we can Filter results, like attached mock up.

With Filters, we could, e.g.:

- Filter results just for current Location

- Get all assignments of a variable (Filter results just for Element "Assign") 

- Get all Conditions where a property is used

It should be possible to select one or more filters.

It should have a reset filters.

Further developments could have the possibility to save Filters for later usage.

Great idea, Alberto!

For the time being, what I do to filter (kind of) the results is sort them by element, or by location, and then scroll to the subset of results I want to inspect.

Cheers!

Thank you Ricardo.

That's right, column sorting it's a fair but limited way to group items.

Good idea, Alberto.

Right now I'm using sorting the column and scroll to the right results, but with a long list this is very uncomfortable. Filtering the results is much easier.
