Finding where a product configuration or product is used

Product configurations rarely stand alone. All product configurations contain product configurations or products, and most products contain products and product configurations.

When you find out where else a configuration or product is used, you gather a list that would change if you fixed a defect or updated a child configuration or product in the selected configuration or product.

Procedure

  1. In the products tree, right-click over a configuration or product and then select Find Use.
  2. In the Find Use dialog box, view the results.

    Optionally, click a configuration or product in the Find Use output to show the configuration or product in the product tree.

Example

This example shows all the products that use the Drivetrain (model=hybrid) configuration. If your Drivetrain (model=hybrid) product is recalled, the changes required to meet the safety standard impacts two car models.
