Viewing the parents of a linked form

You can view the parents of a form, section, item, codelist, or codelist item that:

• You copied using the Copy > Link option.
• You use on multiple parents.

To view the parents of a linked study object:

1. In the Project Explorer, select a study object, and confirm that a blue icon () appears in the upper-left corner of the study object's icon.

   Note: If the icon does not appear, the study object could be used multiple times in the study but always on the same parent.

2. Right-click the study object, and select Show Parents.

   The Show Parents dialog box appears.

3. Review the paths of the parent study objects in the current project.

   The paths begin with the project name and work down; the last study object listed is the parent.

4. To copy paths to the Microsoft Windows clipboard:
   1. To copy one path, select it and click Copy.

      or

      Click Copy All.

   2. Paste the information in a text editor.

Notes:

• Show Parents is available in both a study and library, but it lists only the parents in the current project.
• Show Parents is not available for a study object on a single parent that appears multiple times, such as an item on a form that is used multiple times in a study.
