# References

Using References to locate items in your scripts.

Most toolbars will have a **References** button within the Menu Bar:

Clicking this icon will open a new tab and display all references to the particular entity, e.g. Services, Messages, Priorities etc. so that you can easily discover which scripts use a particular entity. This can be useful when removing items that are no longer required and for checking scripts that use a particular entity before beginning to make changes, in order to be certain of the extent/effect any editing will have.

For example, to find out which scripts use a particular Service code, select the appropriate code and click References.  The tab will include the number of References found and a list of all References.&#x20;

The occurrence(s) will be highlighted in yellow:

In the event that no References exist the Navigation Pane will display the result of "\<none>".

### Find references

Clicking the "Find" icon will open the selected referenced item in a new tab.
