I asked this question today in the 8.3 presentation, but it didn't get addressed. I am hoping someone here might know the answer.

Is there a way to help manage named queries? It can get complicated when you don't know where the queries are used, and you can end up with a whole mess of queries. Something that shows a map of where named queiries are used could really help.

There aren't currently any formal plans for such a feature, though it's definitely a compelling idea; a 'named query reference tracker' akin to the 'tag reference tracker'. I'd suggest submitting this to our [ideas portal](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas) to help us gauge community interest to drive prioritization.

It's pretty easy to create folders to organize your named queries:  
[Put named queries into folders](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/using-update-insert-and-select-query-in-a-single-named-query-on-same-database/99402/6)  
Folders and NamedQueries are specific to each project.
