Viewing Rules Usage
Business rules can be used in the following artifacts:

Forms

-
Menus

Service Administrators can generate a report, called the Rules Usage Report, that details where rules are used. Filters enable you to refine the details by rule name, rule type, and cube.
Note:
The only rules listed in the Rules Usage Report are those rules that are deployed in the business process.

The Rules Usage Reports provides the following information:
