# View where-used

Sometimes, if you want to clean-up your document setup, you cannot delete an element. In such a case, you can view where the element is used in the connectivity setup.

You can do so for a:

- Document
- Document record
- Document record field

### Steps

1. Click **Connectivity studio - Integration Design**.
2. Click the **Documents** tab.
3. In the list, find and select the desired document.
4. Click **Edit**.
5. Sub-task: View where the document is used.
  1. On the **ActionPane**, on the **Deploy** tab, click **Where-used**.
  2. A page is opened showing the messages in which the document is used.

Close the page.
6. Sub-task: View where a document record is used.
  1. In the **Record** section, in the list, find and select the desired record.
  2. In the **Record** section, click **Where-used**.
  3. A page is opened showing the tables and table records in which the selected document record is used.

Close the page.
7. Sub-task: View where a document record field is used.
  1. In the **Record** section, in the list, find and select the desired record.
  2. On the **Fields** tab, in the list, find and select the desired field.
  3. On the **Fields** tab, click **Where-used**.
  4. A page is opened showing the tables and table records in which the selected document record field is used.
