Showing the Usages of a Custom Defined Template (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only)

You can display the business rules that are using a custom defined template. Viewing the usages of a custom defined template is useful when you want to delete the custom defined template and need to know what objects, if any, are using it. You must remove the template from any objects that are using it before you can delete the template. See Removing a Custom Defined Template from a Business Rule's Flow Chart (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only).
