Dependency questions on a Data Structure’s Data Extension

charlesjohnson

Hey there, 

 

When I right-click a Data Extension Flow to look at its dependencies, it only shows Data Structures which depend on it. Does this mean nothing is using this type?

Hey there, 

 

Data Extensions add fields to existing Data Structures. Therefore, any Flow that would be using the respective Data Structure would also be dependent on the Data Extension – as the extension data also depends on the Data Structure. 

 

I will attach some documentation which provides some more detail on Data Extensions and understanding dependencies using the Dependency Browser. 

 

Data Extensions: Data Extensions - Managing Data Structures (decisions.com) 

Dependencies Overview: Dependencies Overview - Best Practices (decisions.com) 

 

Hope this helps!
