This viewer allows you to access and maintain your data by accessing the records that reference (point to) the record you launch this viewer from.
Example:
Suppose you flag the Obsolete box in the Account Manager record for Bob Jones. The system will display a list of tables (records) that reference the Account Manager Bob Jones so that you can change to a different Account Manager. The Row Count Column lists the total number of records referencing this Account Manager. The Account Manager can be referenced by the Client, Client Order, Client Site, Client SiteEquipment, MasterContract, and WorkOrder records. Typically, you would want to change the Account Manager in your static records (Client, Site and Equipment).
The References viewer is displayed when a user checks the Obsolete box, or select References from the Tools menu.
The References viewer will display a list of tables (records) that reference the specific record that you invoked it from. This record will appear in the top border of the Viewer.
