View the relationship flow between this Generator and its connected Events and Property Bank variables.Event Routing
Displays the flow of triggered events or calculations, showing which Bricks, Generators, or Properties are affected. This helps verify whether there are issues in the event connections between processors and components.Parent Call
Displays which Bricks, Generators, or Property Calculations triggered or are linked to this Generator. Unlike Event Routing, which examines downstream paths, Parent Call examines the upstream sources.Copy
