The Microsoft Dynamics AX cross-reference system allows you to see the relationships between objects. You can see the following:
- Which other objects use the current object
- Which other objects the current object uses
For example, you can get a list of every piece of code that uses a particular method, or you can see which forms use a particular table field. You can also get information about where labels are used in the application.
Problem
In label editor screen there is a button “Used by ” as per my understanding it is used to display the objects that use this label. I clicked the button so many times using different label ids with different labels files but the open screen is empty what should I do to retrieved the objects use certain label id ?
Solution
You would need to generate cross-reference data for your environment for elements to show up in the “Used by” form.
Tools>Cross reference>Periodic>Update and select the Update All checkbox. This will take a long time…probably 2x the normal system compile time.
