Viewing Used Concepts

You can view a list of all concepts used in your project. You can also quickly rename multiple concept occurrences in a single batch.

For more information about concepts and how they are used in projects, see the online Help in Flare.

Closedhow to view used concepts
  1. Open a project.
  2. Select the View ribbon. In the Dynamic Reports section, select View > Used Items>Used Concepts. The Used Concepts window pane opens, listing all of the concepts used throughout the project.
  3. To see more of the information in the window pane, drag the divider bar to make the pane wider:
    • Apply Displays a check box next to the concept. If you decide to rename or delete the concept, you need to make sure the check box is selected.
    • Concept Displays the concept used in the file.
    • File Displays the path and name of the file where the concept is inserted.
    • Title Displays the properties title of the file (if any).
    • Folder Displays the folder where the file is found.

  4. If a certain number of items have been found, page navigation buttons in the local toolbar may be enabled. You can use these buttons to go to additional pages to display more items. You also have the option to view all items at once in one long list. This is called the View All option. You can toggle these views by clicking the View All/View as Pages button in the local toolbar. The button displays the opposite of whatever view is currently activated (e.g., If the View All option is currently active, the button shows View as Pages to indicate that if clicked, the button will switch the window pane to the View as Pages option).
