How to identify unused objects in Application?

You can look at each object in turn and use the 'Precedents' view to see what objects reference that object, but it's a long and painful exercise!

In the forthcoming 20.3 release there is a small step towards making this somewhat easier with an 'Unreferenced Objects View', but this is at the entire Environment level, not at the individual Application level, and only covers 'Content Objects': connected systems, constants, decisions, expression rules, integrations, interfaces, query rules -  so there will still need to be some manual work to do.

Thanks for the information. Good to hear that some kind of progress on this area in coming releases.

Ooh, that sounds very nice.  If they can expand that eventually to include process models (i recognize that it's probably a touch trickier), that would basically be perfect for anything I can think of using it for.

The road-map includes detecting unused objects within the Scope of an Application, all Design Object Types and, ultimately (whenever that is!) automatic clean-up of Unused Objects. But (like all road-maps) there is no commitment to either the what or the when!

YAY!
