Before you can change the status of a map, you must first advance all
the map's child dependencies to the next status. You can quickly find and advance all these
child dependencies using a viewpoint.
About this task
A viewpoint lets you sort search results and group the results into folders.
In this case, you can use a viewpoint to group together all the child dependencies
with the same object type and status. This makes it easier for you to change the
status of all similar objects at once.
To find and sort child dependencies using a viewpoint:
