2. Select > Process and Rules > Business Rules.BYRNB 2/16/10
3. The Declarative Network displays a list of declarative networks in the current application. Each list contains:

2. On the Advanced tab, click  Explore .
3. In the resulting pop-up window, click the Dependencies tab.

For a property appearing on a work object form:

2. Click the Refresh button () to redisplay the form.
3. Click the D link next to the property.

See Using the Declarative Network display.

Using a different form of the dependency network, you can interactively test the computation it defines. See Unit testing a Declare Expression rule.
