The Is Used In Widget shows you where in the current channel the current content item is used. It is important to know where a content item is used in case you want to modify it but are not sure what effect this has on other parts of the channel. For example, if you delete an image from the Content Repository that is used elsewhere in the channel, the image will subsequently be unavailable everywhere it is used. The Is Used In Widget shows where all content types in XperienCentral are used. This includes the following:

...

In the top section of the Is Used In Widget, the number of content items that use the current content item are shown with the message "<content item name> is used in X content items". In the bottom section of the Is Used In Widget, the content items that use the current content item are shown. The name of the content item is shown prefixed with the icon used within XperienCentral to represent the content item type. The names of the content items themselves are links to that content item. For example:


 Image Added

Image Removed

 


To expand the widget to see more content items, hover the mouse over the middle of the bottom part of the widget until the expand icon appears. For example:


 Image Added


Image RemovedImage Added

 

 


To navigate to a content item that uses the current content item, click its title. You will then navigate to that content item where you can inspect how it uses the original content item. For example, if you click a reference to a page from an image content item, you will navigate to the page and there you can see the image element that is using the image. 


Note
  • Because of the way that XperienCentral tracks content items for "is used in" statistics, the results may not be always be 100% accurate because a reindex has not yet occurred.
  • You can also search for content items on the basis of "is used in" statistics using Advanced Search.
