Process action block

Plus all procedure step action blocks that use it

To delete a view, your subset must contain all references to that view (all objects that use it).

To identify all objects that use the view, run the Object Cross Reference Report type Referenced for that view.

To identify objects that would prevent the deletion of the view, run the report type Delete Prevention from the Encyclopedia Client.

If the view is view-matched to another action diagram, you may need full expansion.
