Products rarely stand alone. Almost all products
have child products. Even a product that appears to be a top-level
product might be a child product in a different product.
When
you find out where else a product is used, you gather a list of products
that would change if you fixed a defect or updated a child product
in the selected product.
Procedure
- In the products tree, right-click over a product and then
select Find Use.
- In the Find Use dialog, view the results.
Optionally, hover over a product and use the icons to the
left to act on the product. For example, you can view the selected
product by clicking the Show Product icon.
View the history of the product by clicking the History icon.
Discover other products that use the selected product by clicking
the Find Use icon.
Example
This example shows all the products that use the Body
Shell product. If the Body Shell product
is recalled, the changes required to meet the safety standard impacts
four car models.
