GoAnywhere - Resource Searching

Question

How can I check what projects/monitors are using a resource in GoAnywhere? 

Answer

To show which Projects and Monitors refer to a particular Resource, an Admin User with the Resource Manager role can select the Where Used icon Where Used option from the Resources action menu. If your user account is assigned to a custom Admin User Role, your ability to view, modify, or execute actions on this page are based on the permissions specified for that role. The Resource Search Results page displays the details about the Projects and Monitors that use the Resource. From this page a user can edit a Project, view a Project, and view information about who created or modified the Project.

The Matched Monitors section displays all Monitors that use the particular Resource.

The Matched Projects section displays all Projects that use the particular Resource.

The Projects Avoided section displays all Projects that were not searched because they contain compile errors.

NOTE:

If no Projects or Monitors were found that use a Resource, an option is available to delete the Resource. Be aware that Resources that are referenced by a variable will not be displayed in this list.
