Edit Check Explorer

The Edit Check Explorer provides an overview of the relationships between Forms defined by Edit Checks. Form names are displayed around the edge of a circle. Lines between the Forms are drawn where one or more Edit Checks references data from those two forms.

Example: if an Edit Check references a Field in Form1 and a Field in Form2 then a link is drawn between Form1 and Form2.

The graph shows the link between Forms as well as Forms that apparently have no Edit Checks which join them with another Form. A Form that contains a date Field which is not compared to any other Form might be an oversight with date-checking for instance.

Note

Inactive Forms are shown in Red in the Check Explorer

Navigating the Explorer

Clicking a Form name in the circle highlights the relationships between that Form and the other Forms in the study. The right side of the screen also lists the Edit Checks that form that relationship as well as the other Forms which are referenced by that Edit Check. Clicking a Form name in this list will change the focus of the explorer graph to that new Form so that you can follow the trail of links.

Clicking on a Check Name in the list takes you to the Edit Checks editor to view the details of the check. Use the Browser Back button to return to the explorer exactly where you left.

Form-Only Checks

Not all Edit Checks are cross-form. If an Edit Check only references data from a single form it does not appear on the graph but it will appear in the second section on the right of the graph. This area lists all the Edit Checks that reference only this Form.
