Using Analysis Wizard to get inlinks from outlinks

I have a database in which one module contains out-links to another module that has in-links from other modules.  I want to get at the contents/properties of the in-links, but can't figure out how to use the Analysis Wizard to get to them.  I know I need to use Recursive analysis to get to them, but I don't know whether to use in-links or out-links for the direction or which module to select so that I can get the appropriate information.

I think you have Module1 ->outLinksTo-> Module2 <-inLinksFrom<- Other Modules

So if I'm in Modules2 I can use the Traceability Wizard to get the inLinksFrom Module1.  (Module1 ->outLinksTo-> Module2 is the same as Module1 <-inLinksFrom<- Module2 )

I can run the Traceability Wizard again to get the inLinksFrom Other Modules.

Having different Link Modules for Module1 ->outLinksTo-> Module2, and another Link Modules for Module2 <-inLinksFrom<- Other Modules would make it easier to configure the Traceability Wizard.  I also assume that Module2 <-inLinksFrom<- Other Modules does not require recursion.

rmoskwa is right.

I point out that the question gets answered depending on the "context" of the wizard: in which module you are running the wizard.  If running from Module2 you want "inlinks" from Module1; if running in Module1 you want "outlinks" to Module2.

If the two modules are directly linked, then no, you don't need recursive analysis.

After reading your post again, now I'm wondering what the question really is.  Are you saying: Module2 has inlinks from both Module1 and Module3.  You want to run the analysis wizard on Module1 to display objects in Module3 (at recursive level 2)?  No, you cannot do that.  The wizard only allows you to do either Inlinks or Outlinks, not some combination.  But if you created an in-link wizard in Module2 for Module3, copied the code to Notepad, you should be able to insert that code after creating a wizard for Module1 inlinks from Module2.
