Impact analysis collection

Use this page to view the collection of entities that might be impacted by changes to the selected document or metadata type.

To view the impact analysis collection for an entity:

Select an entity from a collection.
Switch to the Impact Analysis tab.
Specify the impact analysis options.
Click Go.

The impact analysis is performed, and the impact analysis collection is displayed.

You can change the maximum number of rows to be displayed when the collection is large. Click Preferences if the Maximum rows entry field is not visible, then type the required value in the entry field and click Apply to use the new value. The default is 20 rows.

To sort the collection in alphabetical order by a specific column, click the title of the column. Repeatedly clicking the same column title toggles between ascending and descending sort order. You can also click the icon alongside the column title to sort by that column. This icon indicates the sort status as follows:

: The collection is not sorted by this column.
: The collection is sorted in ascending order by this column.
: The collection is sorted in descending order by this column.

Note that if you change the sort order of a collection, and the collection is displayed over two or more pages, then the currently displayed page will be reset to the first page of the collection.
