Usages

| In the second tab, the app designer can inspect |
...
| where the current entity is being used. From the screenshot example above, we can tell that the form is being used in another form and also being part of a workflow process. With such a feature, the app designer will be able to manage the form design well within the scope of its usages. |

Table
...
| Description | Screen (Click to view) |
|---|---|
The table tab is available in the Form Builder. With this feature, the app designer can tell on which other entity is sharing/writing into the same database table the current form is currently pointing too. From the screenshot example above, we can see that the table is being accessed by multiple process tools and forms. We can also click on the Show Table Usage In Other Apps to check if there |
...
are other apps that are writing to the same table too. At the bottom of it, existing table columns are listed down for the app designer's reference. |

on the Merge & Update button will ensure that all modifications are merged.
