This function is used to search in all the dictionary tables for a given value in a given field type, provided that this type is associated with an object in the software. For example, it is possible to search for the locations where a status code is used or where a country code is used etc.

It should be noted that is is also possible to search the processes (ADC type), provided that this type is not associated with an object by default. This is used to verify in what screens, windows, actions... a given process is used.

Screen management
