Highlight All Variables in a Doclet in Smart View
You can now quickly view all instances of all variables in a doclet using the new Highlight All action on the Options menu in the Variables panel.
Open a doclet and, optionally, check it out. You don't need to check out the doclet in order to highlight all variables.
From the drop-down menu in the Report Center, select Variables. Then select Highlight All from the Options drop-down menu:
Variables Panel Showing the Options Menu
In the example below, we used the "Finance - Revenue Report" doclet from the sample Vision application. After selecting Highlight All, we see highlighted variables under the "Notes" heading. The "NetRevenue_Above/Below" variable is selected in the doclet and displays that particular variable name.
Doclet After Selecting the "Highlight All" Action
Use the Unhighlight All action on the Options menu to remove highlighting from all variables within the doclet.
To remove the highlighting from an individual variable when all variables are highlighted, you may select a variable from the list in the Variables panel and, from the More Actions menu for the individual variable, select the Unhighlight action.
Business Benefit: The Highlight All and Unhighlight All actions provide you an easy way to view and locate all variables used in a doclet.
