Setting Orphan Analysis Options

Perform the following steps to specify the search filter for an Orphan Analysis report:

  1. Click Options > Project Options. This opens the Options - Project properties dialog box.
  2. Click Reports > Orphan Analysis tabs.
  3. Click Select Startup. This opens the Details dialog box.
  4. In the Startup dialog, set up a search filter for the startup objects in the orphan analysis. You can filter on entity type, entity name, or both:
    • In the Roots list, check the entity types you want to search for and filter.
    • To filter on entity name, right-click in either the Like or Not Like lists in the Name group. Type a string and check the item to enable the filter pattern and add patterns as required. You can use wildcard patterns allowed in LIKE statements by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
  5. When you are satisfied with your choices in the Details dialog, click OK.
  6. In the Find group, define the terms of the search by selecting the appropriate choice in the Relationships to Checked Startups list, and the Relationships to Unchecked Startups list.
  7. In the Entities group, check the entities to include in the report.
  8. Click OK.
