Hi All,
Is there any way to identify the unused objects like expression rules,constants etc in any Appian application?
Thanks in Advance.

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.
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!
