I am migrating a Google table to a GBT. Have all the data and computed columns moved over and now have to “connect” the GBT everywhere the other table is referenced.

My question: is their any way to find out where a screen was referenced. For example, Glide will take me to the “New Meeting Screen” but no context from where it was called from. I need to adjust this screen but also where it is called from.

Just wondering what others do to track down Screens and their calling hierarchy from the Find Uses section.

Wouldn’t it automatically highlight the component when you click the arrow on the right? I just tested and it’s how it works for me.

Component - yes.

But the context of the screen currently is whatever was the screen I was looking at not the context of where the screen when it would be called from in real life.

In Find Use, when you go to a screen it has no context of where it should be called from. Does Glide provide that somehow - where a screen gets called from (either a workflow or as an action).

Thanks for looking in to it.

Do you still mean the context of this screenshot? I’m not sure what you mean by “when you go to a screen it has no context of where it should be called from”. Can you provide an example?

I think he means when you click on a component in the Find Uses list and it takes you to a screen that has that component, it’s hard to tell how one normally navigates to that screen.

Ahh, so the component does show up (it does for me), but when you’re levels deep, you’re not sure how to navigate? That makes sense.

Yup…that is the problem/question 🙂
