C-846 C-571 Understanding where a rule is used can be a valuable aid in learning and debugging applications. For several rule types, the Referencing Rules facility provides two lists:

• The left column lists other rules that reference the current rule
• The right column lists rules that the current rule references PROJ-117

For example, a harness rule might reference section, property, and control rules. In turn, several flow rules reference that harness rule.

In this context, "rule A references rule B", means that one or more key parts of rule B appear in the rule form for rule A. Your application many include many such "B" rules. At runtime, rule resolution determines which of possibly many "B" rules the system accesses and runs.

You can interact with the display to open a rule in either column.

To access the Referencing Rules display from the Designer Studio:

1. Open a rule.
2. Click the Related Rules toolbar button ()
3. Select Referencing Rules from the menu.
