The Impact view analyzes object usage in a project, and performs impact analysis and cross-referencing.

  1. Open the Window menu.

  2. Select Show View > Impact. The Impact view opens in Designer.

  3. From the Project Explorer, open a resource such as a metadata object, a mapping, or a process.

  5. Double-click one of the objects in the list to edit it.
