When building USD apps, it is easy to get lost in finding which actions are used where. This can be particularly problematic when looking at the USD debugger trying to understand a configuration that someone else set up. Or, you want to make changes to an action call but aren’t sure if it is used by other areas of the system.
Let’s look at how we can use the Related Records Analyzer in XrmToolBox built by Jonas Rapp, to do this.
First, open XrmToolbox and install the Related Records Analyzer:
You will see:
Let’s look at a USD example. Let’s create a new action call called My Action Call.
